It’s been a bumpy start for Cruise, the self-driving car company owned by Google’s Alphabet

The video was originally posted to Instagram last weekend. It’s been a little over two months since cruise started letting the people of San Francisco catch rides on its driverless robotaxis.

A police officer goes up to its window, tries to open the door, and starts walking back to his cruiser. The Chevy bolt-turned-cruise vehicle starts to drive away in what at first seemed like the perfect start to a police chase.

Cruise goes on the lamb. The lamb is a driverless car. Cruise’s lamb goes on. Cruise is a lamb.

The SFPD pulled over the vehicle for not having its headlights on. It was trying to find a safer location to escape from police.

An officer contacted cruise personnel and no citation was issued.’we work closely with the SFPD on how to interact with our vehicles,’ said McLear.

Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors, uses Lidar technology to power its vehicles’ self-driving capabilities. The company has been using the cars to shuttle around its San Francisco-based employees since 2017. Only just just opened a waiting list to taxi the city’s general population.

Cruise vehicles are only authorized to drive from 10pm to 6am. The car’s automatic headlights feature was disabled or failed to detect the darkness around it.
