Self-Driving Shuttle Service Crashes In First Hour Of Service<\/strong><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Update: In only its first hour of service, Las Vegas\u2019 driverless shuttle got into a minor collision with a delivery truck that was backing up.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>None of the shuttle&#8217;s eight riders were injured, nor was the truck driver; the shuttle\u2019s front bumper reportedly bore the brunt of the damage. A representative of AAA on Twitter attributed the accident to \u201chuman error.\u201d According to an official statement posted by Las Vegas City, &#8220;the autonomous shuttle was testing today when it was grazed by a delivery truck downtown. The shuttle did what it was supposed to do, in that its sensors registered the truck and the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident. Unfortunately, the delivery truck did not stop and grazed the front fender of the shuttle.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jimgorzelany\/2017\/11\/08\/las-vegas-lets-it-ride-with-self-driving-shuttle-service\/#24216d29748f\">Read entire article&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\n*<br \/>\n <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- LVBC BLOG RESPONSIVE -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3305383693358973\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8378569513\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Original post from:<br \/>\ntheverge.com<br \/>\nby Andrew J.

The shuttle will only make three stops on its 0.6-mile loop, but its operators are calling it \u201cthe largest self-driving pilot project in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shuttle, which is designed by a French startup called Navya, can seat up to eight passengers, including a safety driver. So while the vehicle\u2019s hardware and software will be handling all the driving operations, it won\u2019t literally be a \u201cdriverless\u201d experience.<\/p>\n<p>IT WON\u2019T LITERALLY BE A \u201cDRIVERLESS\u201d EXPERIENCE<br \/>\nThe shuttle is outfitted with LIDAR, GPS, and cameras, in addition to V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) technology that will allow it to communicate with sensors embedded in Las Vegas\u2019 traffic signals to better manage the flow of traffic. (The Verge\u2019s Casey Newton recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/12\/12\/13923254\/audi-v2i-las-vegas-test-drive-traffic-signals\">got the chance to test out an Audi equipped with V2I technology in Las Vegas<\/a>, and he found the experience to be much less stressful than usual.)<br \/>\n*<br \/>\n <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- LVBC BLOG RESPONSIVE -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3305383693358973\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8378569513\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Starting November 8th, the shuttle will begin accepting passengers at any of the limited route\u2019s three stops located on Fremont Street and Carson Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and 8th Street.
