Google's Autonomous Car Passes 2 Million Miles
Google said today it recently reached a huge milestone with its autonomous cars. Its cars have logged its two-millionth mile. To put into perspective, Google's self-driving cars have travelled roughly 300 years of human driving. The first million miles took Google six years, the second million came in at 16 months. Recode evaluates how far Google's self-driving cars have come. It notes that Google has been involved in 14 of such incidents, 13 of which were caused by other drivers.
"It notes that Google has been involved in 14 of such incidents"
14 of _which_ such incidents? I mean, i can make a pretty good guess, but if i were to read the blurb without any context i might think this is the 14th time Google has passed a million miles or something.

That's in the East Coast upgrade package. The New York package doesn't wait for the pedestrian.
Tesla has collected over a billion miles of driving data (about 180 million on autopilot) and adds a million miles every 10 hours.

That's why I never use subways, airplanes or trains. If I can't drive, I ain't getting in!
