According to reports, a self-driving car recently traveled from coast to coast without any accidents or traffic violations. This event changed public perceptions of technology. However, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) self-driving cars have been getting into accidents in California during test drives. According to Business Insider, the test-driving cars have been in five accidents since September. Google and Delphi Automative (NYSE: DLPH), which own the cars Google is using, put out a statement saying none of the accidents are their fault. Most of them are minor fender benders. Which is good for Google and the self-driving car project because to insure these cars costs $5 million each. "More might be expected of these test vehicles and of the companies that are deploying them and the drivers that are supervising them than we might expect of a 17-year-old driver in a 10-year-old car." Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina said.
