1) 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
Me too... I suggest to change the title, as it seems misleading.

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

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.

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