A Google self-driving car may just have been responsible for its first ever accident. Google's autonomous vehicles have been in accidents before, but this could be the first time it actually caused one.

In the eyes of the law, Google’s self-driving car system may soon get the same treatment as a human driver.

NVIDIA's ultimate goal is to provide an end-to-end platform for self-driving cars, which is why NVIDIA has announced DriveWorks, a suite of software tools, libraries and modules, and DriveNet, its very own deep neural network.

NVIDIA just announced the Drive PX 2 at CES 2016, a compact supercomputer that will help autonomous cars leverage on deep neural networks to become even smarter than before.

It would appear Uber has just hired itself some serious computing muscle.

Google's self-driving cars have received the green light to begin testing on public roads in Mountain View, California, this summer.

Google has reported that its self-driving cars have covered over 1.7 million miles in total and were involved in 11 accidents, but none were its cars' fault.

A week or so ago, Apple-leased cars packed with sensors and cameras were spotting roaming the streets, and now rumors are rife that Apple is possibly working on a self-driving or electric car that could "give Tesla a run for its money."

The State of California has granted licenses to Google, Audi and Mercedes to allow their self-driving cars to drive on all public roads in the state to facilitate the advancement of autonomous cars.

According to experts at the Society of Automotive Engineers 2013 World Congress, self-driving or fully autonomous cars will not become mainstream until 2025.
