A City of Las Vegas representative issued a statement that the shuttle “did what it was supposed to do, in that its sensors registered the truck and the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident.” It also claims, lamely, that “Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has the accident would have been avoided.”
============================================

I'm not opposed to this type of tech, at least for others to test, but the question is if a human operator was in driver's seat, and paying attention, would this type of accident been avoided?
