Google's robomobili twice had an accident in June (due to a person’s fault)
Since the launch of the project in 2009, Google’s autonomous cars have traveled a million, seven hundred thousand kilometers. On manual control, they covered one million three hundred thousand kilometers. Unmanned vehicles hit fourteen times in road accidents, twice in June 2015.
The fourteenth accident involving the autonomous car Lexus "Google AV" occurred in Mountain View on June 18. The drone stopped at a red light and was preparing to turn left. When you turn on the green light, the car behind the drone crashed the latter into the rear bumper. In the accident, people were not injured, and the cars got off with scratches.
On June 4, 2015, another Lexus AV stopped at a red light, preparing to turn right. Robomobil drove ahead to the red in search of a better view of the intersection, and stopped, passing the next car. At this time, another road user, having accelerated to eight kilometers per hour, did not have time to brake and entered Google AV.

Now, Google uses twenty-three Lexus cars that drive on public roads, mainly in Mountain View, California, and twenty-five prototypes of robotic vehicles , two of which are involved in normal traffic.
On the page dedicated to the project of unmanned vehicles, Google since May lays out reports on the work.
