Dammit-
Most were but not all.
EDIT: Actually "12 minor accidents since 2009, not including one that happened just this week. “Not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident,” claims Google."
There was one, but it was in manual mode:
"The only reported crash that appears to have been Google’s fault: “A Google Prius model AV operating in manual mode was involved in an accident on Charleston Road in Mountain View, CA. An employee operating the Google AV to run an errand (i.e., he was not using the vehicle to test our autonomous technology) rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped in traffic. No injuries were reported at the scene. The Google AV sustained some damage.”http://gizmodo.com/google-will-tell-you-when-its-driverless-cars-crash-1709345808

hippy
Sounds like the software worked?
The stats are pretty impressive so far. They keep trying to make an issue about the 11 or so reported incidents but that's a small number given the stage of development. And the other factors (humans) involved.
I wonder what people will do when autonomous cars are the norm? How will we show our status and show off to others?
