Uber or Lyft? No, it could be a robot car!
The city of Beverly Hills council approved council motion D-7, which has the subject line “resolution of the council of the City of Beverly Hills declaring the city’s support for the development of an Autonomous Vehicle Program.”
The proposal also states:”As initially envisioned, the program would include a fleet of City-owned AVs that would transport members of the public via these AVs in an attempt to reduce traffic and improve parking.”
Imagine getting a ride from a robot car? No dealing with (sometimes) creepy drivers or rude ones. You’ll get in, get dropped off at your location and that’s it. Sounds good, no?
Obviously there’s an immense amount that has to be done for this to happen. Beverly Hills’ motion explains that it will take years before an AV-transit system is developed and usable. Beverly Hillsis looking ahead and it looks like the future is coming sooner than later.
