The View from the Front Seat of the Google Self-Driving Car
After 1.7 million miles we’ve learned a lot — not just about our system but how humans drive, too.
If you spend enough time on the road, accidents will happen whether you’re in a car or a self-driving car. Over the 6 years since we started the project, we’ve been involved in 11 minor accidents (light damage, no injuries) during those 1.7 million miles of autonomous and manual driving with our safety drivers behind the wheel, and not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident.
glaube ich übrigens tatsächlich aufs Wort. da "fehlen" nämlich viele Faktoren, die Ursache oder Begünstigung für Unfälle sind. siehe:
Lots of people aren’t paying attention to the road. In any given daylight moment in America, there are 660,000 people behind the wheel who are checking their devices instead of watching the road. Our safety drivers routinely see people weaving in and out of their lanes; we’ve spotted people reading books, and even one playing a trumpet. A self-driving car has people beat on this dimension of road safety. With 360 degree visibility and 100% attention out in all directions at all times; our newest sensors can keep track of other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians out to a distance of nearly two football fields.
oder die ebenfalls genannten Beispiele von Fahrern, die schlichtweg gegen die Verkehrsregeln verstoßen, z.b. durch nicht erlaubte Drehmanöver oder kurzfristiges Fahren auf der falschen Straßenseite usw.
Man hat jeden Tag die Chance die bestmögliche Version von sich selbst zu sein. ♥
