Self-Driving Cars get Disrupted

March was not without incidents for UBER. An UBER driver plowed into a gas pump causing it to explode. A human was driving though.

Last week a self-driving UBER SUV was also involved in an accident. UBER shut down the self-driving program at that point in Arizona, San Francisco and Pittsburgh while investigated the accident.

Google self-driving cars have also been involved in accidents. According to their own accident reports, their self-driving cars were involved in 14 collisions. Out of 14 crashes their test cars were at fault only once, when they dinged the back of a bus at 5 miles per hour.

This episode looks at what self-driving cars will be like.
