Autonomous Vehicle News
Orlando’s autonomous SWAN Shuttle launched this week, and by Tuesday, it struck a Lynx bus causing minor damage to both vehicles, officials said. It happened on Terry Avenue near Livingston Street at about 1:05 p.m., according to a statement from the Orlando Police Department. The autonomous bus runs seven days a week, circling a limited portion of the LYMMO Orange route, and was expected to resume service at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, OPD said. Beep, the Lake Nona-based company which runs the shuttle, couldn’t immediately be reached for more information. The free shuttle, which started running Sunday, quickly drew a crowd of curious students, business people and commuters in its early days.
