Driverless shuttle launches in Orlando — and crashes two days later
By Emily Crane
August 25, 2023
Not off to a good start.
A brand-new, self-driving shuttle bus suddenly crashed into another carrier in Orlando, Fla. — just two days after the shuttle service officially hit the streets.
The SWAN shuttle — short for Shuttling with Autonomous Navigation — collided with a full-size bus in the city’s downtown area Tuesday, cops said.
The crash was caught on camera by a passenger testing out the city’s hyped new service.
