According to officials, the Google vehicle had been stopped in traffic on a public roadway in Mountain View, CA, when it was allegedly struck in the rear by another vehicle traveling at 17 miles per hour.
Three Google employees inside the self-driving car complained of neck pain and were transported to a local emergency room where they were treated and released. The driver who appeared to be responsible for the collision also complained of neck pain.
This was the 14th accident that a Google driverless car has been involved in, in six years. The Google vehicle was rear-ended in 11 of those collisions.
A Google spokesman says the company blames careless and distracted drivers for these accidents. Nearly all motor vehicle collisions are attributable to careless and/or distracted drivers.
