Google's Self Driving Car Crashes
datapharmer writes "We've all read previous stories on slashdot about Google's driverless car, and some have even pondered if a crash would bring the end to robotic cars. For better or for worse, we will all find out soon, as the inevitable has occurred. The question remains, who is to blame. A Google spokesperson told Business Insider that 'Safety is our top priority. One of our goals is to prevent fender-benders like this one, which occurred while a person was manually driving the car.'"
"The door opened, you got in!"
The car crashed while being driven by a person.

Why, Apple, Microsoft and Yahoo! and may be Oracle too!
9/11 was an inside job because man never landed on the moon.
FTA: Google's Prius struck another Prius, which then struck her Honda Accord that her brother was driving. That Accord then struck another Honda Accord, and the second Accord hit a separate, non-Google-owned Prius.
Man Crashes Car? That's no story. CAR CRASHES MAN!!! Now *that's* a story.
Ah yes, the epiphany of epitome.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
you say this now, but wait until the smartcar you're in gets caught in an infinite loop!
So you get lost around the Apple campus. What's the big deal?
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
The article has an update, which says the incident forced a chain-collision among 3 Priuses (Preii?) and an Accord.
So it appears that only one car was affected.

Never been known to fail..."
