#21) i thought this meant stock crash, but it refers to the bus / automated SUV crash from 2/29/2016
2) Has anyone made an animated depiction of the crash, I'm curious if I have in my head the right idea about what actually happened

Not animated, but there's a diagram here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11197681

#4I'm glad that nobody was hurt. It takes some of the emotion about getting to the fixes.

#5I'm wondering why there were enough sandbags around a storm drain to warrant the vehicle moving back into the left lane and not any indication before hand. The autonomous vehicle would know when a lane is blocked because of cones, right?

Was this a test-vehicle of Google? In that case, it probably had lots of cameras on board.

Me too... I suggest to change the title, as it seems misleading.

And Google is not going to release that footage, at least not anytime soon.

And it's still hard to argue with the fact that out of several million miles driven, this is the first serious accident that was caused by the autonomous car (and the failure scenario looks to have been appreciably complex). You won't find a human with that clean of a record.

Yes, it was an autonomous vehicle (with a "test driver" in the car)…there are more details on http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/29/google-self-driving-car-a...
What I find interesting is this comment: Our test driver, who had been watching the bus in the mirror, also expected the bus to slow or stop.
