Agreed re: insurance reasons. That said, the phrasing of the event is interesting &quot;...self-driving car hits municipal bus...&quot; and (in article) &quot;...self-driving car struck a municipal bus...&quot;, and the co-driver (and vehicle) is quoted as &quot;believed the bus would slow or allow the the Google (autonomous vehicle) to continue.&quot;, sound a little &quot;soft&quot;, more like &quot;yeah, I think that&#x27;s my fault&quot;. I don&#x27;t have &#x27;favourite to win&#x27;, regardless. There&#x27;s another article[0] that I didn&#x27;t see earlier that does in fact accept at least partial fault, and additionally mentions that the software was updated as result of this event. Thankfully it seems to be a low-cost (in terms of injury and damage) event, but fascinating given the young state of autonomous driving.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;us-google-selfdrivingcar-idUSKCN0W22DG" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;us-google-selfdrivingcar-idUS...</a>
