Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel. For two months, the company Cruise² has been operating self-driving taxis in San Francisco. Even so, it was a surprise for the police officer who pulled over a Chevy with its lights out, only to find no one behind the wheel. Then the bot bolted and seemed to get away, only to stop again down the road. Cruise says it was a planned maneuver³. The robocab was just looking for a safe place to stop. Still, the officer brought backup before approaching a second time. It's MORNING EDITION.

早上好我是蕾拉·法德尔。两个月来，克鲁斯公司一直在旧金山经营自动驾驶出租车。即便如此，对于一名警察来说，这还是一个惊喜，他把一辆关灯的雪佛兰停在路边，却发现方向盘后面没有人。然后机器人逃跑了，似乎要逃跑，结果又在路上停了下来。克鲁斯说这是一次有计划的演习。自动驾驶汽车只是在寻找一个安全的地方停车。尽管如此，在第二次接近之前，这名警官还是带了后援。这是早上版。
