Accidents are usually common in autonomous cars since they are expanding on the roads around the world, this is normal considering the increase of this type of vehicle in tests. In this case, the Cupertino company has a fleet of autonomous cars that is also susceptible to some type of accident, until now we had not seen any and now one that occurred on August 24 by one of Apple's Lexus is reported.
There have been no casualties or personal injury to mourn beyond vehicle damage, so this is the best of the news. In short, we cannot say that it was an accident at high speed, much less, according to official sources from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, the traffic accident of the Apps car occurred at a speed of less than one mile per hour.
Apple's car was hit from behind
Everything indicates that the car that hit Apple's Lexus SUV was the culprit in the collision when hitting from behind. According to Bloomberg, the Nisan Leaf (the other vehicle involved in the accident) that was traveling at an approximate speed of about 15 miles per hour hit the Apple car from the rear and therefore this would be to blame for the collision.
We continue to say that these types of vehicles are really the future of driving, in addition to having to be electric cars to pollute much less, autonomous vehicles are much safer than cars in which a human is responsible for the steering wheel. Apple is still immersed in its tests with autonomous cars in the "Project Titan" and although part of the project in which they have been working for years is really unknown, it is expected that in the coming years they will show us news of all this. Some analysts at Apple say all this project could be ready by 2023 and 2025.
