This is something to sit and read... February 14th, Valentines Day, Google's Auto Drive car CAUSED its first accident. 

Though it held an impressive time-frame of being quite flawless, this raises some question as to how this will impact other self-driving technologies.

They're really coming on with this AI thing. Now it's human-like enough to have its First Crash. A rite of passage for any driver.

Well it still drives better than most people driving. I bet some people would have gotten out and yelled at the bus driver. Luckily, autonomous cars are not that smart. Or is it stupid?

And it was mainly because the bus driver didn't yield.

Well, at least they learned some valueable information about it!

And it's a small bump, nothing terrible. No injuries, nobody in shock or died. I'm suprised it took that long before anything happend.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Yes, I thought it was interesting that is seems like the Google employee in the car decided to make the same decision as the car and thought the bus would stop.

Damn... Pretty shitty of the driver to assume someone else would act to stop the accident though. Equally, I suppose I could give the bus driver some shit for not being very observant.

 

I mean... Technically you could put the accident down to human error.

 

Anyway, at least it was only a low speed collision and not some insane head-on or something.

What an accident! How many died? Jesus! That's horrible!

 

Come on... Getting hit by a bus going at a whopping 15mph can't be that catastrophic...

It's very impressive that they have been able to drive that much and only sustain a singular at-fault accident.

 

According to the DoT, the average person (aged 20-55) drives around 15,000 miles per year. Google has so far driven about 1.3 million miles, which equates to 86.7 years worth of driving  (assuming the person was never younger nor older, in which case it would be a couple more years as those age groups tend to drive about 50% less). That's extremely impressive to say the least!

Keep in mind though, that dealer was testing the model that doesn't have automatic braking... Yeah, he's a bright guy...

If the bus was also an autonomous vehicle and there was a protocol for intervehicle communications then this would of never happened as both cars would know what the other was doing. We won't be able to attain perfection while machines and humans coexist on the road. We humans will always be the weakest link.  Googles lowest moment during this whole experiment was being equal to a human driver. It has never performed worse then a human driver.

In most cases. Google did report that there cars have made mistakes that if their driver hadn't taken over it would have lead to an accident.

Quote

Google classified the final 13 disengagements as “simulated contacts”: situations that would have resulted in a crash had the human driver not taken over. “In these cases, we believe a human driver could have taken a reasonable action to avoid the contact but the simulation indicated the [car] would not have taken that action,” the company says.

Now they can improve their driving AI. I don't really know why the driver thought the bus would stop, so it's both the car's and his fault. Not something to worry about anyway.

I wonder why Google uses mostly Lexus and Toyotas for their autonomous cars.

The fact that they had to program it to be more human like and it took so long for this to happen, I really look forward of the self-driving car due to how safe it is.

They predict there to be self driving cars by 2020? Dang... What a time to be alive.

Self driving cars accelerate potentially when someone is bumper sticking to you which is potentially dangerous

Still less dangerous than appruptly breaking and causing a collision.
