Mobileye’s autonomous car runs red light in Jerusalem
A self-driving car being tested on Jerusalem’s roads by the Israeli autonomous vehicle firm Mobileye runs a red light while on a test drive, Channel 10 reports.
According to the company, the incident, which happened last week, was caused by television film equipment placed on the vehicle for a Channel 10 broadcast report.
The equipment somehow “disrupted the traffic light’s transmission,” preventing the car’s sensors from seeing the red light, the company said, according to the business journal Calcalist.
No one was hurt in the incident.
