Google Says Its Self-Driving Cars Drive Better Than You
Google has been testing self-driving cars for years. Six years in fact, with a fleet of 20+ self-driving cars, which have self-driven almost a million miles over that period — and are now averaging around 10,000 self-driven miles per week.

There has only been 11 minor accident according to Google’s Chris Urmson, but he blames the self (human) drivers.

Over the 6 years since we started the project, we’ve been involved in 11 minor accidents (light damage, no injuries) during those 1.7 million miles of autonomous and manual driving with our safety drivers behind the wheel, andnot once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident.
