A Google Inc. driverless car was involved in the fleet’s first collision to result in injury.
“Everyone in both vehicles was okay, except for a bit of minor whiplash,” Chris Urmson, Google’s director for self-driving cars, wrote in a blog item posted Thursday. One of Google’s vehicles braked during a green light because of congestion, and the car behind hit it at 17 mph and lost its bumper, he wrote.
