Driverless Bus To Debut In New Orleans
Of all of the cites in the world where you should elect not to drive, New Orleans has to be number 1. Sure New York would be a nightmare to drive in, and Colorado Springs probably has a lot of folks stopped at stop signs waiting for them to turn green. With the pedestrian traffic and the massive amounts of "celebration" going on constantly - In New Orleans you are better off letting a professional get you to your destination safely.
New Orleans will be rolling out the EZ10 on Monday afternoon. The EZ10 is a self driving bus that has room for 12 folks, and it's already found success internationally in France and the Netherlands, and domestically Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I wonder if the artificial intelligence is programmed to carry on conversations?
According to LRN, the bus system will follow a pre-determined routes and has the potential to help around 4,000 people a day.
