Google has launched a website devoted to its robocars that,
among other things, reports accidents involving the vehicles. That's a
shift in position for the tech giant, which previously had intended not
to reveal incident details.
The
website,
launched Friday, will provide information on any accidents without
revealing the identity of the human drivers who are required by law to
ride along in the
cars. The site also provides a general overview of Google's robocar program and how the vehicles behave and adapt in daily traffic.
During Google's
shareholder meeting Wednesday,
company co-founder Sergey Brin had still insisted on keeping this
information private to protect the human drivers involved in the
accidents. "We don't claim that the cars are going to be perfect. Our
goal is to beat human drivers," Brin said during the meeting. "Nothing
can be a perfect vehicle. I just wanted to set that expectation."
Google's change regarding accident reporting indicates that the
company has taken seriously the demand of consumer-advocacy groups for
more transparency.
The company's first
monthly report on the cars (

covers May but also gives accident information that stretches back to
the project's beginnings in 2009. Since their initial appearance, the
report says, the robocars have logged more than 1.8 million miles of
autonomous and manual driving combined and have been involved in 12
minors accidents, none of which was their fault. A 13th accident
occurred Thursday, when one of the robocars was
rear-ended. That's apparently the eighth time a from-behind fender-bender has happened -- a May 11
blog post
published by Chris Urmson, leader of the robocar project, notes that
seven of the incidents up till then involved Google cars being hit from
the rear.
"Rear-end crashes are the most frequent
accidents in America, and often there's little the driver in front can
do to avoid getting hit," Urmson wrote. "We've been hit from behind
seven times, mainly at traffic lights but also on the freeway."
