Meet Olli, America's first driverless public shuttle bus

What do you get when you cross self-driving artificial intelligence, 3-D printing, and public transportation? Local Motors, a manufacturer known for its focus on open-source vehicle designs, unveiled Olli on Thursday at its new facility in National Harbor, Md., a development just outside Washington D.C. To test Olli, Local Motors plans to offer free rides to the public around the development in what is believed to be the first public trial of a completely self-driving vehicle in the United States, reported The Washington Post. In February, the Netherlands launched a fleet of WEpod driverless buses, which can carry six passengers, on the campus of Wageningen University in a central Dutch agricultural town. Miami-Dade County has bought two Olli shuttles, and Las Vegas has bought one.
