In its statement on yesterday’s crash, Waymo’s press team says the van was actually in “manual mode” just before impact. “At approximately 12:06pm (MST), our self-driving minivan was travelling westbound in manual mode on Chandler Blvd approaching N Los Feliz Dr/N Hearthstone Way in Chandler,” the statement reads, “when a silver Honda sedan travelling eastbound on Chandler Blvd swerved across the median strip and struck the Waymo vehicle.”
Waymo’s press release also includes this crash video taken by cameras onboard the minivan:

So, one vehicle sideswipes another vehicle and hits a third vehicle in a town in Arizona no one has really heard of.

I've dodged red-light runners at least 5 times. I'm sure the technology will get there, but I don't trust it over my eyes and reflexes quite yet.

That's great news.
In other news, human reflexes were in control of all vehicles involved in yesterday's crash, at least according to what I read in TFA.

Most importantly, the vehicle that wasn't hit first at the stoplight.

What's also great news, I've never been involved in any type of accident. Luckily I'm not browsing Facebook or piss arse drunk while I drive. I look where I'm going and what others around me are doing.
