According to the classical laws of robotics, a computer can never be wrong. This is confirmed also on the road with the data published by Google accident had in these first months of road testing of its Car. The automatic cars from September to now have been involved in three accidents, not bad when you consider that as many as 48 cars are running around independently in California since last September. The beauty, however, comes from the analysis of claims.

Infill and” crawl “

Two of them in fact they occurred on autopilot disengaged, or when driving a human. Each car as it continues to have automatic and manual controls for the California law needs someone who is behind the wheel. The last however was not caused by the car but from self-run human who buffered from behind. In this case we can not even speak error passive: the car was impossible to avoid such an accident. Reportedly from the head of the program Google Car, Chris Umson, in any incident there were no injuries and the cars have reported “light damage”. Not bad when you consider that the three cars have traveled a total of 225,000 kilometers in eight months, the distance a car travels in town ten years. Looking further back Google said that in the last six years, since I started the test, the claims were eleven out of a total of 2.7 million kilometers. Even here Urmon we point out: “We have been buffered from behind seven times, mostly at traffic lights but also the highway. We were intrigued to smear a couple of times and we were stopped at the stop sign. ” The conclusion is clear: the automatic cars are safe, trust me.
