One day you will be riding a google robotic taxi, waiting at the traffic light, when suddenly a delphi robotic taxi will challange yours to a city drift race.
Title should be "Driverless cars utterly fail to cause accident".
So basically the whole article is trying to slam autonomous cars yet it's literally saying "They almost did but they didn't where normal humans would have fucked it up big time"

Looks like there were "early reports that the cars were involved in a near miss" resulting in the title of this thread, but as more info came out the BBC changed the title to "Rival robot cars meet on California highway". So it's just the FP thread that retains the original title
If you want to read about the same incident on a much, much better site just click their link to Ars Technica: [url]http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/06/no-2-self-driving-cars-didnt-have-a-close-call-on-silicon-valley-streets/[/url]
This is what Delphi said about the incident:
[quote]I was there for the discussion with Reuters about automated vehicles, the story was taken completely out of context when describing a type of complex driving scenario that can occur in the real world. Our expert provided an example of a lane change scenario that our car recently experienced which, coincidentally, was with one of the Google cars also on the road at that time. It wasn’t a 'near miss' as described in the Reuters story.[/quote]
Actually if the delphi car handled such a dangerous situation right it says a lot about how quickly it reacts.
However Google car proven to be a dick driver.
