If I was google I'd be erring on the side of extreme caution. The first public accident that happens with one of these cars is going to get plastered over every media outlet in the world.
That they had the car in "super safe driving" mode for a media event seems entirely reasonable, even if the car probably could've navigated the narrow street with 95% confidence. The obvious path of attack is targeting the safety of an automated driver. Lose voter confidence and the whole thing comes crumbling down to be delayed another decade of legislation.
That's my guess, anyway.

- uncoder0 14y agoSource? I thought the car was hit by someone else. edit: Found it, http://www.slashgear.com/googles-robot-car-accident-blamed-on-human-05169836/ http://www.slashgear.com/googles-robot-car-accident-blamed-o.... You were correct. I had thought they were rear ended by a human.
