Driverless shuttle service to launch at University of Michigan

The Navya Arma, a 15-passenger electric shuttle takes members of the media on a two loop tour of the streets of Mcity on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Friday, December 9, 2016. Mcity will launch a driverless shuttle service on the University of Michigan's North Campus in Ann Arbor beginning in the fall of 2017. The electric shuttles are made by French startup NAVYA and are on display on June 21, 2017. The service will use two fully-automated, 15-passenger, all-electric shuttles manufactured by French firm Navya to transport students, faculty, and staff between U-M's engineering campus and the university's North Campus Research Complex. The driverless shuttles, the first of their kind in Michigan, will drive on University of Michigan roadways, putting them in the mix at times with regular vehicles driven by the public as they traverse a 2-mile circular route every 10 minutes.
