A driverless shuttle could soon serve as a missing link for many residents who do not have easy access to rapid transit.
According to a report that will go before the public works committee next week, the city is planning to experiment with autonomous vehicle technology by launching a pilot project for the operation of a driverless shuttle sometime in 2020.
According to the report, the shuttle would aim to “solve the first-mile/last-mile challenge,” wherein many residents don’t use public transit because they live too far away from rapid transit stations.
