The first accident of an unmanned vehicle

One of the drones Google crashed into another car. However, the company has already stated that at this time the car was driven by a man.

The Google Robo-Prius crashed into someone's usual Toyota Prius. But according to a Google representative, the incident occurred while managing her person. “Security is our top priority,” he said. “Just preventing collisions of the type that happened is one of our goals.”

A company spokesman said that drones had already departed about 160,000 miles without a single incident. The accident occurred in Mountain View.

Google showed its drones in October last year. They traveled more than 140 thousand miles along public roads. Each car is equipped with video cameras, radar sensors and laser range finders that analyze the traffic situation. Cars build their route on the basis of maps compiled earlier with the help of cars driven in a more traditional way - that is, by man

Although the cars are completely autonomous, Google assures that they never appear on the road without a person sitting in the driver’s seat to intercept the automatic control system at any time. With this in mind, the governor of Nevada allowed the company to test their cars on certain state roads.
