Google self-travelling car hits a bus
Among Google's self-driving vehicles crashed right into a bus in California previous month. There have been no injuries.
It is not the very first time among Google's famed self-driving vehicles has been involved with a crash, but it can be the first time it has caused one.Google is to meet up with California's Section of AUTOMOBILES (DMV) to go over the incident, and determine where in fact the blame lies.
February the automobile on 14, traveling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out before a public bus heading 15mph (24km/h).
The man in the Google car reported that he assumed the bus would decelerate to allow car out, therefore he didn't override the car's self-driving computer.
The crash occurred in Mountain Perspective, near Google's headquarters.
In a assertion, Google said: "We plainly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't relocated, there wouldn't have already been a collision.
"That said, our check driver thought the bus would slow or stop to permit us to merge in to the visitors, and that there will be adequate space to achieve that."
