Caught this in Breaker yard magazine about Googles self drive cars...Talk about Damage limitation..

How safe are these cars?

But just how safe are these cars, are they crash proof because human error is no longer a factor? So far, two incidents have been reported in 2010 and 2011. Google stated that the first incident was caused by a human operated car and that during the second the car was being manually driven at the time. More worryingly, the car cannot identify debris, items, potholes and more importantly humans. So it certainly isn’t crash proof!

However, the speed is limited to 25 mph which minimizes impact in a crash. The front of the car has a foam bumper and a flexible windscreen so if the car does hit a person it will minimize damage to the pedestrian. Seat belts are provided and Google deploys a ‘fault tolerant architecture’ as they call it which helps with steering and braking should the system fail. Google designed the car with a considerate and defensive driving style that helps to protect passengers and other road users. An example of this is a one second delay in the car pulling away at green traffic lights; caution is a key word for Google.
The downsides of self driving cars

So far, the technology is far from perfect and there is a long way to go. At present the self driving car is only a two seater. The prototype produced in summer 2014 couldn’t handle heavy rain or snow covered surfaces. Unmarked four way stop crossing causes the car to slow down considerably as the computer’s algorithms take extra precaution. The cars can’t recognise temporary traffic signs and are unable to recognise the difference between materials such as paper and rocks, which is very tricky. They also can’t navigate around car parks. Google anticipate having these issues fixed by 2024.
