Google Self-Driving Car Might Have Caused First Crash In Autonomous Mode (roboticstrends.com)
An anonymous reader writes: While driving in autonomous mode, a Google self-driving car was involved in an accident with a public bus in California on Valentine's Day, according to an accident report filed with the California DMV.The accident report, signed by Chris Urmson, says the Google self-driving car was trying to get around some sandbags on a street when its left front struck the bus' right side. The car was going 2 mph, while the bus was going 15 mph.Google said its car's safety driver thought the bus would yield. No injuries were reported. If it's determined the Google self-driving car was at fault, it would be the first time one of its cars caused an accident while in autonomous mode.
Ow my neck!!
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Neither school buses nor soccer moms ever yield in traffic.
Actually, the bus was on the left.
You would also think that a good human driver would have seen that car going 2 mph trying to avoid the sandbags and not continued on obliviously at 15 mph.
You have obviously never met or interacted with a Bay Area Muni driver. If the driver were not stoned or drunk, they would likely have been *aiming* for the car.
Where do you draw the line?
Typically, it is drawn between the lanes...
