The Waymo van wasn't at fault, according to police.
警方说,错不在 Waymo
One of Google’s self-driving Waymo minivans collided with another vehicle
Friday in Chandler, Arizona, which resulted in minor injuries, according to
Buzzfeed. The Waymo vehicle was not at fault, according to police.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Chandler Blvd. and Los Feliz Dr.
A Honda, traveling eastbound on Chandler had to swerve to avoid hitting a
northbound vehicle on Los Felix. The Honda swerved into the westbound lanes
of Chandler where it struck the oncoming Waymo minivan, according to ABC15
Arizona.
Police say the Waymo van was in autonomous mode at the time of the accident
with an operator behind the wheel, who received minor injuries. Three
vehicles total were involved in the accident, with only two colliding. Police
are investigating if one of the other non-Waymo vehicles possibly committed a
“red light violation,” according to Buzzfeed.
This is the second crash that involved self-driving vehicles to happen this
year in the Phoenix area. In March, a self-driving Volvo XC60 from Uber
struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe Arizona. An operator was behind the
wheel of the Volvo at the time of the incident. Uber suspended all testing of
self-driving vehicles while the state governor suspended the company’s
ability to test in the state.
心得/说明:
看起来是对向车疑似闯红灯闪车失控直接从对向车道跨越过来撞上 Waymo 面包车
再好的科技与机械都还是无法防止这类情况的发生
自动驾驶/半自动驾驶技术目的都是在于降低意外事故发生的机率
并且使伤亡降低
没有办法完全消灭事故发生的可能性
个人全自动驾驶车离我们还很远(至少在台湾是如此)
但在用半自动驾驶技术时也要多注意路况,别把机器当万能
机器出错是一回事,就算机器没出错也还是可能遇到这种状况
另外 Waymo 也上传了当时事发时所拍下的影片:
