- Google has recently doubled the number of driverless cars they have permits for in California to 48
- The new permits are for a new fleet of cars that they are in the process of testing
- Google has published a report listing the details of the car accidents for all of their autonomous vehicle collisions
- All of the accidents have been a consequence of human error, and not the vehicles themselves
- Autonomous Vehicles can be leveraged to make roads safer all throughout the world and reduce the number of victims due to unsafe drivers
