    It looks as though the developers haven't read the CA vehicle code -- the video at around 00:29 seems to show a failure to comply with section 22108 -- "Any signal of intention to turn right or left shall be given continuously during the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before turning".

    Also, at about 00:52 the car appears to have its hazard lights going as it drives through the neighborhood -- California Vehicle Code sections 25250-25251 says that flashing lights are prohibited on vehicles except as otherwise permitted, and goes on to detail these situations... which don't include just driving around normally, even if the car is operating autonomously.
