Delphi denies near-miss between its self-driving car and Google's autonomous vehicle
Delphi Automotive initially reported a near-miss between its self-driving Audi Q5 SUV and a Google Lexus RX400h in Palo Alto, California. A Delphi executive claimed Google's car cut off the Delphi vehicle, which took evasive action. However, Delphi later denied the incident, stating the vehicles were a lane width apart and that both cars performed correctly. Google also confirmed the cars behaved appropriately in an ordinary driving scenario.
