Any example?

This one for example seems to work ok:

On that occasion, no ticket was issued, as the officer decided that no law had been broken.
In 2019, a police officer in Providence, Rhode Island, pulled over one of May Mobility's low-speed autonomous shuttles.

Unless a newline is expected between those paragraphs?

[smcgregor]

It needs a newline between paragraphs to make it readable.

woot, that looked differently before submitting the comment.

Does a much better job with new lines, and would allow for richer formatting, but users would have to remove unwanted links and/or images.

There is no parameter to scrub the hotlinked images? Otherwise this sounds great.

After a few tests, I couldn't find any outstanding issue with markdown translations (to Spanish). For example, the translation of the text above handles links very well:

![Los Bolt EV sin conductor de Cruise son algo común en San Francisco.](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Cruise-car-in-Hayes-Valley-San-Francisco- 800x450.jpg)

[Agrandar](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Cruise-car-in-Hayes-Valley-San-Francisco.jpg) / Los Bolt EV sin conductor de Cruise son una vista común en San Francisco.

Un video que muestra cómo la policía detiene un automóvil sin conductor y luego intenta alejarse se volvió viral durante el fin de semana. La policía de San Francisco detuvo uno de los Chevrolet Bolt EV autónomos de Cruise, probablemente porque los faros del automóvil no estaban encendidos a pesar de que era de noche. En el video, [publicado por primera vez en Instagram el 2 de abril](https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cb1q-vggFn9/), se puede escuchar a un oficial decir: "No hay nadie".

Pero unos segundos más tarde, después de que el oficial regresa a su coche de policía, el vehículo autónomo, quizás decidiendo que la parada de tráfico había terminado, intenta alejarse antes de detenerse a unos cientos de pies de distancia.

Cruise dice que el auto no estaba tratando de huir. El vehículo primero cedió el paso al vehículo policial, luego se detuvo en un lugar seguro para la parada de tráfico real, dice la compañía. Uno de los policías se puso en contacto con Cruise para informarle de la situación y el coche sin conductor no recibió ninguna multa. Cruise dice que arregló lo que sea que causó que el automóvil condujera sin las luces delanteras durante la noche.

Esta no es la primera vez que la policía detiene un automóvil sin conductor. [Allá por 2015](https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/13/us/google-self-driving-car-pulled-over/index.html), cuando todavía era solo Google Self -Driving Car Project y no Waymo, un automóvil autónomo de Google fue detenido en Mountain View, California, por ir a solo 24 mph (39 km/h) en una zona de 35 mph (56 km/h). En esa ocasión, no se emitió ninguna multa, ya que el oficial decidió que no se había infringido ninguna ley.

En 2019, un oficial de policía en Providence, Rhode Island, [detuvo uno de los autobuses autónomos de baja velocidad de May Mobility](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2019/05/15/police- oficial-detiene-sobre-auto-conducción-lanzadera/3686826002/). Los transbordadores para seis personas recorren un circuito urbano de 12 paradas hacia y desde una estación de tren, pero el primer día de operaciones, un oficial que no estaba familiarizado con el vehículo detuvo a uno. Tampoco resultaron cargos de esa interacción.

También en 2019, un Tesla sin conductor fue detenido después de que su propietario usara la función de llamada remota del automóvil en Florida. Sin embargo, en ese caso, [el incidente fue organizado por un YouTuber](https://insideevs.com/news/374673/confirmed-police-smart-summon-staged/).

Desarrolladores de vehículos autónomos como [Cruise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM3kfauMgZY&t=593s) y [Waymo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/10/24/heres -qué-sucede-cuando-la-policía-detiene-un-coche-sin-conductor/) han preparado guías para los socorristas sobre cómo interactuar con los vehículos en caso de emergencias.

And seems to handle the Apple example better than expected :D :
