According to a report in the USA Today, Google has reported that eleven accidents have occurred over the life of its self-driving car program. While that number might seem like a lot, in reality it amounts to one accident every 155,000 miles driven.
Accidents occurred both in the self-drive mode as well as when there were actual humans piloting the vehicles. The question thus becomes, 'whose auto insurance covers an accident driven by two automatons?' I'll have to Google to find out.
