The report doesn't say whose fault it was.

But it does list a hell of a lot of other similar failures
and a well designed self driving car should drive the
car so it doesn't cause human drivers to run into the
back of the car its driving because of how it drives.

And of course human drivers never **** up like this....

Which is why people don't want to spend £1000s on a self driving car
that ****s up or kills them, they can have that for free NOW.

No, they get 20 times less ****ups.

The California DMV said it has received it has received 95 autonomous
vehicle collision reports as of August 31. Dozens of companies have
received permits to test self-driving vehicles on California roads, but
those permits require the presence of a human safety driver.

Just how amny of these atomomous cars are there a few dozen comparded
to....

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you don't say how
many
manually driven cars have had collisions.

What matters is the collision rate per mile. Tho I spose the self driving
cars are more likely to be used in the more risky situations so they can
work out what the glitches are with the current system.

There is the possibility that they will cause a lot of collisions by
driving according to the letter of the law.

Maybe.

Slow drivers get rear ended a lot because they're TOO DAMN SLOW!

Never seen any evidence of that. Certainly slow drivers can cause more
accidents because other drivers overtake them and **** that up tho.

M'colleague rear ended someone because he assumed they'd pull out of a
junction, but apparently the driver in front felt the gap was too small
and didn't move.

He's a ****wit if he drives into the back of another car in that situation.
