Apple’s secretive self-driving car programme suffers first reported crash

Washington is welcoming self-driving cars to use the state’s roads as testing grounds. But who’s responsible if one causes a crash, the driver or the carmaker? With the technology still evolving, there is no clear answer. (Dreamstime/TNS)

After an accident involving an Apple self-driving SUV on Aug 24 in Sunnyvale, Apple filed such a report, but didn't say much.
