Autonomous shuttle bus strikes pedestrian in Vienna

An incident involving an autonomous bus striking a pedestrian in Vienna is currently being investigated by Austrian authorities. While the hit only resulted in minor injuries, the city’s transit authorities have temporarily suspended further trials. The vehicle was a Navya SAS shuttle, traveling at 12 km/h (7.5 mph) when it struck a 30-year old woman in her knee, according to state broadcaster ORF. Vienna has been testing two driverless buses under a program that began last much, with the Austrian Institute of Technology and Siemens mobility also participating in the project, as reported by Autonews Europe.
