A Google self-drive car has been pulled over by police in Mountain View, California, for driving too slowly.
No action was taken but it does raise questions about whether the cars, in their current form, are too cautious.
In a post on Google+, the net giant joked: "Bet humans don't get pulled over for that too often."
An accident report recently filed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles described a Google automated car as "over-cautious".
In a blogpost about this week's incident, the Mountain View police department said an officer "noticed traffic backing up behind a slow-moving car in the eastbound lane".
"The officer stopped the car and made contact with the operators to learn more about how it was choosing speeds along certain roadways and to educate the operators about impeding traffic," it added.
The car was travelling at 24mph in a 35mph zone.
