Sacramento,CA : California’s self-driving cars are rolling on may, friday 12th 2017

Self-driving cars have logged hundreds of thousands of test-drive miles on California highways over the last few years and could be available for public use by the end of 2017.

Manufacturers, though, are still working out the kinks. Sometimes the vehicles crash. Other times, self-driving systems disengage, which means the vehicle shifts into manual mode – triggered either by the driver or vehicle sensors. Under state law, the Department of Motor Vehicles is keeping track of all of it.

The DMV filings do not offer conclusive evidence about which vehicles are the safest, and the reports show that accidents and disengagements represent a tiny fraction of vehicles’ time on the road.
