SAN FRANCISCO: Google said that while its self-driving cars have safely driven more than a million miles, there have been times when humans have had to take over to avoid crashing. 

System “anomalies” caused drivers to take the wheel 272 times in California test cars in the 14 months leading up to December, Google said in a report to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
