Two self-driving cars, including one operated by Google, were involved in a near-miss collision in California last week, according to a Reuters report.
A self-driving Lexus operated by Google is said to have cut off a self-driving Audi run by Delphi Automotive as it was trying to change lanes.
Delphi’s John Absmeier, who was travelling in the Audi at the time, said the vehicle was forced to abort changing lanes and take “appropriate action” to avoid a collision with the Google-operated car.
Google has yet to comment on the report, but it is believed to be the first such incident involving two vehicles specially equipped for automated driving, Reuters says.
Earlier this month, Google admitted that its driverless cars have been involved in 13 accidents since they arrived on Californian roads six years ago.
