The self-guided automatic safe? Would you trust them to get to the street from a car without driver, even with autopilot? The numbers say yes is the same as Google to communicate: the automatic steering is more than reliable.
Although a number could feed anxieties: were 11 incidents the Google car in six years testing and experimentation. And to be more precise, 3 incidents in the last six months have involved the 48 Google Car that are testing their efficiency on the real field, on the roads of California .
You can not escape, is the human that is wrong: two of the three incidents occurred when a human driver was driving with the manual controls. And the third was caused by a collision from behind, then by a car driven by a person. It is “error passive”, that also all the driver assistance systems, the computer, the GPS and sensors, can not avoid.
The program manager Google Car , Chris Umson , pulls water to his mill, strong numbers almost unassailable. “ There has never been no injuries and our cars were damaged light “. The three crashes in the last six months there have been in the over 225,000 km test. Anyway, the 11 incidents in 6 years have occurred along 2.7 million kilometers of evidence. Numbers laughable, synthesized in a case study from Umson reassuring. “We have been buffered from behind seven times, in particular traffic light and also in exit . We were hit smear 2 times and we were stopped at the stop sign. “
