It looks like back in early August one of Google’s driverless cars was involved in a multi-car fender bender near Google’s headquarters.
In the full story, reported on Jalopnik.com, Google claims that at the time of the crash the vehicle was being driven by a human. The Google Prius apparently rear-ended another Prius, and according to a witness caused a cascade involving two or three other cars.
This accident brings up many interesting questions about how accidents can and will be handled in the future.
- How can police report on the accident?
- How to do they or insurance companies know who or what was driving?
- Who is responsible for damages?
These are all questions I’ll be pursing in future articles.
This tech will have as big of an impact upon our world as the internet has had. The software being developed here will be the foundation of all robots that we are about to being to share our world with and the innovation that explode from this development will change every aspect of our lives.
Agreed. It will be very interesting
