Deprived of drivers experimental cars developed by Google as part of group tests have been run with the top of 2.7 million km. Cars participated in 11 minor collisions, in which nobody was hurt. – Accidents always happen, regardless of whether it comes to cars driven by people, or about machines – says Chris Urmson, head of the project.
Cars without drivers They are tested by the company for the last six years. Now on the blog Chris Urmson, who is leading the project to publish several data about it.
The tests involved a total of more than 20 cars, which together covered over more than 1.7 million miles (2.7 million kilometers over ). During these journeys there was a 11 collision, which involved the Google autonomous vehicles.
– The any of these cases, the wine was not even on the side of our cars – provides Urmson. – The collisions nobody was there any damage. For most accidents took place on the streets and intersections with traffic lights, where our cars were hit from behind. You have to remember that accidents always happen, regardless of whether it comes to cars driven by people or by machines.
The head of the project autonomous vehicles Google announced that it now conducted tests will still continue and the cars will drive a few million kilometers before the engineers manage to improve all systems allow cars to drive alone without participation of the man sitting behind the wheel.
