Mr Ferguson allegedly said he worked for Google and was scared to stop.

The car in question was a Honda HR-V which was equipped with several 360-degree cameras mounted on a tall antenna on top of the car.

A police officer was able to catch up to the driver, who Middletown PD allege was still traveling at high speeds and refusing to stop.

The vehicle allegedly continued to travel several kilometres into Madison County.

Police allege the driver slowed down for a red light, but then blew through it.
