Last May a report by the Associated Press revealed that Google's self-driving cars had been in four accidents, which spurred the technology giant to come clean and talk about the real grand total of 11 incidents its prototype cars had seen. Now Google's making a move to stay transparent about accidents going forward, with monthly reports on any new crashes, and a website where you can find them.

Since talking about those initial 11 crashes—none of which were the fault of a driverless car—there have been two more. One additional fender-bender in May is included in the first report, which lists the grand total as 12, while a 13th (then reported as the 12th) occurred yesterday. So far none of the accidents have been particularly brutal, and all have been the fault of flawed human drivers. As the project goes along, it's only natural that there will be accidents, but now Google is owning up to them
