Self-driving bus involved in crash less than two hours after Las Vegas launch

A truck driver is blamed for the accident, which passengers say could have been avoided if the autonomous vehicle had only reversed

It took less than two hours for Las Vegas's brand new self-driving shuttle to end up in a crash on Wednesday - thanks to a human.

The autonomous bus made its debut on public roads around the so called Innovation District in downtown Las Vegas in front of cameras and celebrities, dubbed America's first self-driving shuttle pilot project geared toward the public. But within two hours it had already been involved in a minor crash with a lorry. No injuries were reported.
