Google Self-Driving Car Hits Bus in California Crash
In a Feb. 23 report filed with California regulators, Google said the Feb. 14 crash took place in Mountain View, Calif., when a self-driving Lexus RX450h sought to get around some sandbags in a wide lane.
The vehicle and the test driver “believed the bus would slow or allow the Google (autonomous vehicle) to continue.”
