Google’s self-driving cars investigated on suspicion of breaking traffics laws

Google’s robot taxis are to be investigated by American regulators amid claims the self-driving cars flouted traffic laws.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Tuesday said its investigation would look at 444 vehicles owned by Waymo, a subsidiary of Google’s parent Alphabet.

It follows reports of 22 incidents, including 17 collisions, which included behaviour that potentially broke traffic laws, the regulator said.
