Over the past several years of testing, Google’s fleet of autonomous vehicles have been involved in a number of minor accidents, but up until now all of them were caused by human driven vehicles running into Google’s machines. That has now changed as an autonomous Lexus RX450h slowly ran into the side of Mountain View, Calif. transit bus. While autonomous vehicles like Google’s prototypes can often see a lot more than human drivers and respond properly, they can miss things that we do pick up on and that’s where vehicle-to-external (V2X) communications can help.
