Traffic policeman pulls over Google driverless car for going too slowly

A driverless Google car has been pulled over by police for going too slowly. The vehicle was stopped after an officer noticed traffic backing up behind it in the tech giant’s home town of Mountain View in Silicon Valley. The car was going at 24 mph on a street with a 35 mph speed limit. The officer had a chat with the occupant of the car about impeding traffic but did not hand him a ticket.

Driving too slowly? Bet humans don’t get pulled over for that too often.

California law allows self-driving cars to operated on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or slower. Google caps the speed of its self-driving cars at 25 mph for safety reasons. "We want them to feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighborhood streets,“ Google said. "After 1.2 million miles of autonomous driving (that’s the human equivalent of 90 years of driving experience), we’re proud to say we?ve never been ticketed!”
