Driverless Shuttle Program Not Stopping Operation

The city of Las Vegas is not planning to stop operation of its driverless shuttle downtown, following the death Sunday of a pedestrian who was struck by an Uber self-driving car in Tempe, Arizona. 

A city spokesman says officials are planning to review findings from the investigation into the crash in Arizona when they are made available.  

The self-driving shuttle pilot project in downtown Las Vegas began in November.

There was a minor accident involving the shuttle and a delivery truck on its first day of operation, which Metro Police said was not the shuttle's fault, but there have been no incidents since.
