<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A driverless shuttle crashed with passengers on board Tuesday — just two days after the service launched in Orlando, Florida. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The minor crash was caught on camera by a passenger who was testing out the new “Shuttling with Autonomous Navigation” (SWAN) vehicle. Police said no one was injured after the autonomous vehicle collided with the side of a bus driving by, according to </span><a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/traffic/2023/08/22/no-injuries-in-orlando-swan-shuttle-lymmo-bus-crash-police-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WKMG</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Both the shuttle and the bus had minor cosmetic damage from the collision, police said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Tried out the new SWAN Shuttle [autonomous] shuttle in Downtown Orlando today,” said the passenger, who shared his video on TikTok. “We crashed.”</span></p>
