Vehicles without human driver of Google have been 11 accidents “minor” in the six years he has been testing them in California, said the multinational, which valued that data as a sample of the “safety” of their cars.

“If you spend much time on the road, accidents occur in both a conventional car or one that leads only. In the six years we’ve been testing cars, we had 11 minor accidents to 2.7 million kilometers “Chris said Monday Urmson, director of the program of Google.

Urmson placed special emphasis on the fact that the accidents were “minor” and always the result of the actions of other cars with driver.

“None of cases was the car without driver caused the accident, “he said.

The car you drive just Google is a project initiated in 2009 with a view to the long term, although since their two dozen Lexus RX450h equipped with sensors have already circulated, and hence, recorded in 3D-maps up to 2.7 million kilometers , mainly on highways and roads.

In addition, since about two years ago, Google cars have also been circulating through the streets of Mountain View (California), where the technology giant has its headquarters.

If succeed, the project Google should find a fit in the current Highway Code, which in no case envisages driverless vehicles running .
