Over the weekend, an Instagram video made the rounds on social media which showed San Francisco police pulling over a Cruise driverless vehicle, which is owned by GM, with no safety driver in the Richmond district of San Francisco. The video, which was later shared by Seth Weintraub of the electric vehicle website Electrek, got more than a million views on Twitter. 

Weintraub describes the car as going “on the lamb,” but if you watch the video expecting a high-speed driverless car chase, you’ll be disappointed. The actual three-minute video is boring. Several people can be heard on camera saying vaguely dramatic things like “I gotta watch this” but there is nothing too dramatic happening aside from the strange sight of a cop pulling over a car without a driver. The video is of some police officers standing around a car. At one point the car pulls forward rather slowly with its hazards on across an intersection, then stops again.
