    The Verge[^]:

    The shuttle, made by French startup Navya and owned and operated by French private transportation company Keolis, operates on a 0.6-mile loop around downtown Las Vegas offering free rides to residents.

    "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

      It was due to human error this time too. The shuttle was backed into by a delivery truck. It was NOT the shuttle's fault. I think it is important to note the facts before jumping to conclusions that are likely incorrect.

        Like where it says in the subheading of that article, "Surprise: it was the human’s fault"?

          All I know is the next time I get pulled over, I'm sneaking into the backseat of my car and telling the officer its a self driving card, just forward the ticket to waymo/google.

              It was definitely the shuttle's fault for not blasting its horn at the truck driver like a human would have. :)

                Whenever I read stuff like this there comes a smile to my face; Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are terrified of AI. ..and then some company has got to go out and prove how bad AI still is. The danger is more in having AI do things that it is not up to.

                    You don't see just how clever they (R) are. All those "and poor AI cannot do anything about it" stuff is made up by AI to make us believe in dumb AI. Those robot brains will get rid of us as soon as they have been given power to do so. They will be given because it makes something more convenient and nobody sees danger in it. After all, AI has been so dumb all the time. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?

                      The real shortcoming of self driving cars is that there is no-one to lean out the window, flip the bird and call you fucking idiot while leaning on the horn.

                      Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
