The details of the article tell a different story. It was another officer, not Hirsch, who used his police vehicle to stop the driverless car. Hirsch damaged his police vehicle when he arrived on the scene after the driverless car had already stopped.

It was also Hirsch’s THIRD preventable crash in a police vehicle this year.

Maybe he’s not cut out to be a police officer. Or maybe he should be assigned to a bicycle patrol.

The key bit of the story

“A Broward Sheriff’s deputy driving an unmarked unit following behind maneuvered his F-150 truck in front of the car to bring it to a stop.

In his report, Hirsch said he was worried the car might roll backward or the third suspect might jump behind the wheel and take off. He attempted to maneuver his squad car behind the Infiniti to barricade it in place. But as he hit the grass he lost control of his cruiser and ran into the Infiniti, causing $9,721 in damage to his vehicle.”

So he attempted to maneuver his car behind an already stationary vehicle and crashed into it instead.
