About a Chevrolet Bolt very much like this one:
Owned by GM subsidiary Cruise, it was an autonomous taxi undergoing testing. And it was driving about at night with no headlights on.
Which piqued the interest of the local constabulary.
So they pulled it over only to discover that it had no driver. It then drove off - through an intersection - before stopping again.
Notice that I used the phrase "it was driving" not "it was being driven"
Now a car with no driver might not need lights itself - but other road users and pedestrians might like to see it coming. Apparently, when it got pulled over, rather than calling its lawyer, it alerted staff back at base - or "Cruise Control" and one of them decided to move it to a "safer location".
