Route Fifty: In November, Las Vegas debuted the country’s first autonomous shuttle to transport passengers among regular city traffic on a daily basis.
The shuttle, operated as a public-private partnership, got into a fender-bender during its first four hours on the road, colliding with a delivery truck that failed to stop, though the shuttle halted immediately as its sensors detected the other vehicle.
