Supposedly, SFPD can't ticket misbehaving robocars because there's no driver to sign the ticket. I have come to believe that this interpretation is in error. Standard procedure when a driver won't sign a ticket is to arrest them and impound the vehicle. Just because the driver, meaning the person responsible for the driving, is not present, shouldn't change this.
@jef dude, look around: SFPD doesn't do that even when there IS a driver in the car
@jgilbert @jef that’s not true, I once got a ticket in SF for jaywalking, shit you not. One of my prised possessions now, I even keep it in a plastic sleeve. There was probably someone smoking meth in a bus shelter not 30’ away at the time, and I got a ticket for jaywalking.
