    A Delphi spokeswoman, Kristin Kinley, told Ars Technica: “The story was taken completely out of context when describing a type of complex driving scenario that can occur in the real world. Our expert provided an example of a lane change scenario that our car recently experienced which, coincidentally, was with one of the Google cars also on the road at that time.”

    Delphi later released another statement saying: “It was an anecdote of an interaction, not a ‘near miss’. Reuters completely misrepresented the facts.”

    A source at Google also confirmed there was no near collision and said no one was at fault. Reuters have not replied to a request for comment.

It would be so great if Google got annoyed and bought all the crappy media companies in the world these days and then launched them into the sun.
