Type in your destination and ride - on a campus or in an office park - in the future. But for now, in India, a driverless shuttle is open to the public at the Auto Expo in Greater Noida, India. (Don't ask me where that it is; I know NY, DC, parts of Boston and Chicagoland, but not India.)
And the pride part is that the vehicle - a transit-like shuttle - is made in India. Well, of course, it's the Indians who are proud. Sitting here in the US, I am smiling for them.
One minor complaint here. For a shuttle that is open to the public, the vehicle looks quite unfriendly to people with disabilities.
Other nice factoid
Battery powered and can run for 150 km on one charge. That's 92 miles.
Why do we even have the word factoid? Fact is sufficient.
