Precision on the highway This is how ingeniously the highway patrol stops a driverless SUV
A Kia is driving on a US highway - apparently under control. But the driver is slumped over the steering wheel. What follows is a police operation that can be described without exaggeration as a precision maneuver.
On the Will Rogers Turnpike in the US state of Oklahoma, a car rolls unusually slowly along the highway. Several drivers raise the alarm: although the car stays in its lane, it does not react to traffic or signals.
When a police patrol pulls up, the reason is revealed - the driver has apparently fallen asleep.
Precision instead of risk
The officers begin a delicate operation between risk and precision.
The vehicle must be stopped without endangering others.
The video shows how the police proceed and why this moment deserves special attention.
