Orlando's first self-driving shuttle bus 'CRASHES' (Has Small sideswiping incident ... I hate clickbait headings) just two days after launch.

(You can’t put my ass on a vehicle that doesn’t have a driver. I don’t even trust most humans to drive me around, I’m not gonna trust no damn ‘Johnny Cab’ - ’Total Recall’ reference.)
The new 'SWAN' system (Shuttling With Autonomous Navigation) is meant to travel to five stops on a one-mile loop using one of Orlando's regular bus lines.
Its stops include parts of the campus of the University of Central Florida and the city's 'Creative Village.' The new shuttles were launched on August 20.
The SWAN shuttle rammed into the bus from the city's LYMMO system in downtown Orlando.
Police said the shuttle was unable to register the Orange Line LYMMO bus turning ahead of it.
Authorities claimed there was no impact on the regular schedule for either SWAN or the buses.
'There was no impact to service in this area due to the incident, as LYMMO buses are on standby to fill in as part of the autonomous shuttle pilot plan,' the agency added.
'At approximately 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, on Terry Avenue near Livingston Street, there was an incident between a LYMMO bus and SWAN Shuttle resulting in minor cosmetic damage to both vehicles,' the OPD said in a statement.
They added that there were 'no injuries to passengers.'
By the end of the day, at 6:30 p.m., the autonomous shuttle had resumed regular service.
The program is a pilot operated by a local autonomous vehicle company called Beep, partnered with the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority.

 

A Tiktokker captured the moment the busses sideswiped but the video is very temperamental about when it plays.
He commented, “Tried out the new SWAN shuttle in Downtown Orlando today, we crashed. #BEEP”
