LOS ANGELES, July 17 (UPI) -- Google employees who were passengers in the company's self-driving car reported minor injuries after the vehicle was in a rear-end collision while stopped in traffic, the company revealed Thursday.
The Lexus SUV equipped with the tech giant's self-driving technology, sensors and cameras had slowed to a stop at a green light in response to traffic in an intersection in Google's home town of Mountain View, Calif. on July 1. Another car coming from behind failed to brake at all, slamming into the back of the Google vehicle at 17 mph, the company said.
