It's not the driverless car's fault - it's the other drivers': Google

Mountain View, California

GOOGLE, a leader in efforts to create driverless cars, has run into an odd safety conundrum: humans.

Last month, as one of Google's self-driving cars approached a crosswalk, it did what it was supposed to do when it slowed to allow a pedestrian to cross, prompting its "safety driver" to apply the brakes. The pedestrian was fine, but not so much Google's car, which was hit from behind by a human-driven sedan.
