It's almost as if my brain is trained to completely ignore underlined text from all the sites that use it for inter-linking spam. Seriously, didn't even notice it.

Funnily, the description of the accident makes it the human driver's fault for failing to properly merge into traffic though it implies the robo car was at fault for "boxing in" the other car.
Back when I drove trucks I put many a Californian driver on the shoulder under the exact same circumstances -- law says trucks must use the right lane and can't exceed 55mph so that's what I did to the detriment of people yacking on the cellphone and Oh, Shit, truck!!! as they come barreling down the onramp without even giving a basic attempt to safely merge.
It was from a New Yorker story this week where there were emails from Lewandowski discussing an accident. This is linked in the post so I don't know how you missed it.
