Quote:Toyota, which developed the autonomous shuttle buses used in the compound, said it had suspended operation of the vehicles after the accident on Thursday afternoon.

One of its electric buses "made contact with a pedestrian who is visually impaired" on a pedestrian crossing, Toyota said in a statement.

Quite surprising that Toyota can fail this basic but very important test case for self-driving.

A setback to toyota, but overall trend for public bus towards autonomous would not change.
