http...this WSJ article has interesting crash stats.<br />http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2013/04/17/will-self-driving-cars-be-mainstream-by-2025/?mod=google_news_blog<br /><br />The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in a study of crash data harvested from black boxes installed in cars, found that just 1% of drivers involved in the collisions applied the brakes at full force before the collision. About 33% of the drivers in the crashes NHTSA analyzed didn’t apply the brakes at all, NHTSA researcher W. Riley Garrott told attendees at a session Wednesday.<br /><br />About 220 people were killed in the 910,000 rear-end crashes the agency analyzed to learn about driver braking behavior, he said. Crashes in which braking mistakes were a factor cost society $45 billion, based on a survey of 2006-2008 data, Mr. Garrott said.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922730156993667014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926887082463941466.post-2822941120125578022013-04-19T09:42:40.573-07:002013-04-19T09:42:40.573-07:00an interesting article

T...They will probably add more SDCs along the way. They probably will send a fleet of them to do cold/ snow weather testing later. Then a fleet for the executives and for user interface testing. I could see 100+ SDCs. Maybe 4-5 million miles by the time they are done testing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922730156993667014noreply@blogger.com
