Thats cause the car probably stops whenever it's presented with a situation it can't resolve. Like this example.
Sure, google likes to repeat how little accidents it has had in these self driven cars but how many full stops has it had due to glitches like the one mentioned here? Can't have that happening when it goes to market.
