City officials said that the accident occurred not through the fault of an unmanned bus.
"The shuttle did everything he had to do. The bus sensors noticed a truck, so the bus stopped to avoid an accident. However, the truck did not stop and touched the front wing of the bus. If the truck had the same equipment as the shuttle, there would not be an accident, "officials write..
