So the bus driver failed to notice the the car hadn't seen it and didn't react accordingly ::)

That's a news story right there... Stupid human fails to react to a situation clearly and imminently occuring infront of him ;D

Having read the article, seems the google car is programmed, the same as most mini cab drivers are. They just pull out into the traffic and sod you attitude, if your lucky you might get a flash of indicator.
So in conclusion the google car is correctly programmed... ;D

Took them a while to figure that out. ;D
