They have also been used in DC, Vegas, Perth, the Netherlands and other places.
It might not be a total replacement for cars but they are self-driving vehicles that are moving passengers now.
If I had access to these running at 30km/h only on major streets in my city I'd probably get rid of my car.
- Animats 9y agoThere are several of those, none of which seem to be beyond the demo level. Navya is really slow, about walking speed. EasyMile is so slow they have to show sped-up videos. Proterra, which makes electric buses, is just talking about self-driving. Olli, from Local Motors, is starting out at 5MPH and doesn't seem to have any units installed. None of these systems seem capable of an ordinary airport parking shuttle route. That's embarrassing. Those things should be performing better.
