3 issues self-driving cars face before they’re ready to hit the road

The self-driving car business hasn’t come to a screeching halt, but recent events show that there are still some kinks to iron out before consumers will be able to let robots take the wheel.

On Monday, Google said that it bore "some responsibility" in a minor collision that happened on Feb. 14 in El Camino, California.

According to Google’s report, one of its vehicles changed lanes and hit a bus after predicting that the bus would either slow down or stop.

The human operator in the vehicle agreed that the bus should have slowed down, but Google admits some responsibility because if its "car hadn’t moved, there wouldn’t have been a collision." However, Google maintains that this kind of misunderstanding happens with human drivers every day.
