Google admits driverless car crashes on California roads

San Francisco

ELEVEN Google driverless vehicles have been involved in minor accidents on California roads over the past six years during testing, the company said on Monday, stressing that none of its cars were at fault in any of the incidents.

The company made the admission after a report from the Associated Press said two Google driverless cars, while controlled by computers, had been involved in accidents since last autumn, when the state gave the company official permission to start testing the technology on public roads. Nobody was hurt in any of the crashes, Google said.
