Google has published a report in May on testing robomobiley
The website Google Self-Driving Car project there was a small PDF- отчёт the team of engineers engaged in the project of robotic vehicles. Apparently, these documents will be published monthly. Despite the fact that the current report contains only a few pages, it describes in detail the road incident in which over the past six years since the start of the test had to get robomobili search giant.
First of all, Google refines figures: participating in the program 23 car Lexus RX450h SUV, which move on the roads of California, mainly in Mountain View. In addition to them in closed landfills are 9 more prototypes. Since 2009, we managed to drive robomobili 1,627,591 kilometer in robotic mode (under it is understood that the management provides only software, and located inside the car driver does not touch the steering wheel). In an average week robokara drove 16 000 km on the open road.
In six years, there were 12 accidents involving robomobiley, all of whom were the fault of the people. The closest in time to the May accident occurred Lexus, when he stopped at a red light at the intersection of Mountain View. At this time, some car driven man crumpled rear bumper Lexus and damaged so sensors on it. The speed of the culprit this time was only about 1.5 km / h, so that an accident ended without serious injuries.
It is interesting to evaluate the complex traffic situations met by the AGV, and how they managed to get out of them:
The chart above shows the movement plan AGV at a crossroads and two motorcyclists who are marked with red parallelepipeds (broken red line - is the way of their movement). AGV stopped at the intersection, at which time the left toward him motorcyclist relatively successfully passed the intersection and drove on. But the motorcycle, turning toward the right AGV, for some unknown reason left for oncoming so that he was directly in the path of guglomobilya - it shows the calculated trajectory of the blue line. The software auto decided to stay and not to go forward, allowing the motorcycle to avoid a collision right at the junction. As a result, AGV motorcycle safely and missed, avoiding trouble in the accident. An additional difficulty was the fact that everything happened at night, and the driver, a man would be difficult to give a correct assessment of the situation.
