It claims that the damage done by the car to the building would cost between $250,000 and $350,000 to repair but things could have been much worse. Along with the pedestrians and other vehicles in the area at the time of the accident, the convention centre was hosting several events on that fateful day.

As a result of the accident, the driver suffered some injuries and was taken to the nearest hospital. The report cited the local police who said that the driver is in stable condition. The police report doesn't mention if the vehicle was running on Autopilot or not at the time of the crash.
