The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered an autonomous shuttle company to stop carrying passengers in 16 cities after a mysterious braking problem last week in Columbus that caused minor injuries to a passenger.
One of EasyMile's shuttles in Linden braked suddenly last Thursday, causing a passenger to fall from a seat. EasyMile says the shuttle was traveling 7.1 miles per hour when it made an emergency stop as programmed, but it is unclear what triggered the stop.
