A no-driver shuttle is coming to Utah — as an experiment
(Photo courtesy of UDOT) This no-driver, no-steering wheel shuttle will be used in a year of demonstrations and research by UDOT and UTA.Imagine an automated public street shuttle — without a driver or steering wheel — that can transport eight to 16 people safely to a nearby transit stop, doctor office or store. It’d be especially nice for kids, the disabled or others without a driver license.
The pilot project by the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Transit Authority will be an early ambassador both to demonstrate and figure out what may be possible with autonomous vehicles in the near future.
