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.
French President Francois Hollande spoke by phone on Saturday with several world leaders according to the President's office. He spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, all of whom expressed solidarity following the deadly Paris attacks.
He also spoke with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Italian and Spanish prime ministers Matteo Renzi and Mariano Rajoy and Moroccan King Mohammed VI, the president’s office said.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Saturday that French policy had contributed to the “spread of terrorism” that culminated in attacks claimed by the Islamic State group which killed 128 people in Paris.
“The terrorist attacks that targeted the French capital Paris cannot be separated from what happened in the Lebanese capital Beirut lately and from what has been happening in Syria for the past five years and in other areas,” he said.
Assad was referring to twin bombings claimed by IS which killed 44 people on Thursday in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of his Lebanese ally, Shiite militant group Hezbollah.
Assad regards all the rebel groups fighting his forces inside Syria as “terrorists”, not just IS.
Assad said he had “warned against what would happen in Europe for the past three years.”
“We said, don’t take what is happening in Syria lightly. Unfortunately, European officials did not listen,” he said, in comments to the delegation broadcast by France’s Europe 1 radio.
He said French President Francois Hollande “should change his policy.”
“The question that is being asked throughout France today is, was France’s policy over the past five years the right one? The answer is no.”
France has been a leading supporter of the Syrian opposition since soon after the outbreak of protests against Assad’s rule in 2011.
It is also part of a US-led coalition conducting an air war against IS in both Syria and Iraq.
It has carried out air strikes in Iraq for more than a year but extended them to Syria in September.
