The google car could have just stayed in the middle of the road, but instead, was hugging the right side of the road in preparation for a right-hand turn.  Due to sand bags next to a storm drain, the google car had to &amp;quot;merge&amp;quot; back into the one-land road to get around the sandbags.  Considering it&amp;#x27;s still a one-land road, the bus driver should have yielded to any car that was in front of it.  I&amp;#x27;d place a majority of the blame on the bus.&lt;p&gt;What I don&amp;#x27;t understand:  Why doesn&amp;#x27;t the Google car have video of the accident?  Or if they do, does anyone know if they will share a video of it?</text><parent_chain><item><author>Gratsby</author><text>I live in the area.  The stinking buses around here ...  They crowd the lanes regularly.  Us human drivers I suppose are used to it, but it is a serious pain in the butt.&lt;p&gt;The buses will drive right next to the lane marker, with their mirrors hanging over into your lane.  This makes it so everybody has to creep over a little bit into the drivers side lane and hopefully everybody in traffic has a small enough car to deal with it.  Otherwise, you have to hang back behind the bus as if it&amp;#x27;s in your lane and wait for it to get to a stop.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve had my issues with Google autonomous cars (they drive slow and they used to be exceptionally slow at making right hand turns, causing traffic problems), but in this instance I&amp;#x27;m happy to throw VTA under the bus, if you will, and lay blame 100% at their feet.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Google says self-driving car hits municipal bus in minor crash</title><url>http://www.reuters.com/article/google-selfdrivingcar-idUSL2N1681DP</url></story>

Easier to see, move slowly, less dangerously, less off them, more predictable, and mostly pretty courteous. Completely unlike drivers.</text><parent_chain><item><author>Gratsby</author><text>I live in the area.  The stinking buses around here ...  They crowd the lanes regularly.
