Driver claims self-driving car didn’t stop for school bus
A driver claimed it was the car, not them, that didn't stop for a school bus with children on it.
The car had a self-driving option, which the driver said had been activated when police witnessed the car drive pass the school bus on Oct. 6, according to the Hingham Police Department. The bus had been stopped with its red lights flashing and stop sign out.
The police department shared video of the incident.
Police also reminded people that "if a car has a driver assistance feature or self-driving option, the driver must still pay attention to the road."
This driver was cited for the incident, police said.
In September, a Waymo driverless car passed a stopped school bus in Atlanta, KGW8 reported.
It left some calling for new legislation to hold companies accountable with higher fines, the news outlet reported.
