Google’s self-driving car gets pulled over for driving too slowly

Automated vehicle caused traffic jam while travelling at just 24mph in a 35mph zone, causing police to pull the car over

They've driven 1.2m miles, and haven't managed to get a speeding ticket yet - but a self-driving Google car got in trouble with the law on Thursday.

The car was stopped by a Mountain View traffic officer on the El Camino Real, a public road near Google's main campus in California, not for breaking the speed limit or erratic driving, but for travelling 24mph in a 35mph zone and causing a big queue of traffic.
