TOYOTA Sienna Incident

A May autonomous shuttle (Ego) is passing through an intersection. A vehicle sensor detects a false positive as a pedestrian moving toward the May vehicle€™s path in a region closely behind another vehicle. This causes the May vehicle to stop to allow it to safely pass. A following agent (still accelerating at the time of the impact) collides with the May vehicle one second after we come to a stop. Re-simulation on newer software shows that routine software improvements resolved this issue and the commercial May software has been updated to this release.
