"The newest member of the autonomous car crash club is Apple," says Tech.co "It’s been pretty secretive about its self-driving car program, but as California law states that all autonomous car crashes must be reported to the DMV, Apple couldn’t keep its August 28 crash quiet for long. It’s also suffered another in October."

"With the highest number of accidents in the study, multinational car manufacturer, General Motors’ ‘Cruise’ cars have a blighted record when it comes to driverless car testing," says tech.co. "Despite being the largest car manufacturer in the US, with over 100 years’ experience in making vehicles, the company has failed to make a smooth transition into the driverless
car market, with nearly 30% of their self-driving fleet suffering collisions."

"Despite Google’s seemingly endless knowledge and power, the company’s self-driving car fleet has the highest collision rate in the study," writes Tech.co. "Google’s autonomous vehicles have crashed 36 times in the Mountain View area, seemingly unable to deal with the six-lane El Camino Real (The King’s Highway), which snakes through the area."
