An incident that Google's self-driving car project responded to by saying:

"Driving too slowly? Bet humans don't get pulled over for that too often. We want [self-driving cars] to feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighborhood streets."

"Like this officer, people sometimes flag us down when they want to know more about our project. 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!"
