'Google Self Driving Car Pulled Over By Police'. Before even reading this article frin Sky News, I knew it was going to be bizzare and humerous.

On Thursday 12th November, in Mountain View, California, a police officer stopped a protype vehicle for moving too slowly as it travelled at 25mph on a 35mph road, causing a back up of traffic.

The police department stated that it wasn't untill the officer got closer to the car that he realised it was one of Google's autonomous vehicles. 

Google responded to this news by saying that the cars are made to travel at that maximum speed for safety reasons, to prevent any accidents etc. Furthermore, Google said that they have travelled 1.2 million miles through autonomous driving and have never been ticketed, that is equivilent to 90 years worth of driving for the average human.

Google also hope for these cars to be available to the pulic by 2020!

I find this article ammusing due to a few different reasons, one being the irony of the car moving too slow. We tend to read about caotic fast drivers causing road accidents but this contrasts that. I also find it exciting that Google plan for the cars to be available to the public by 2020. That will be interesting to see them possibly becoming a trend.
