You won't see Olli on highways, but in the future, he may shuttle you around airports, college campuses and theme parks

Olli debuted this June and was born out of the 2015 Urban Mobility Challenge in Berlin. Contest winner and designer Edgar Sarmiento developed the concept for Olli, which can travel on pre-determined or on-demand routes based on rider needs. The vehicle can only reach speeds of 25 mph and cannot travel on highways, but is designed to fill transit gaps in communities including shuttling travelers at airports, giving students a lift at college campuses and dropping off theme park attendees at attractions, said Amy Rushia, senior director of marketing at Local Motors. Local Motors recently sold some Olli units in Copenhagen and plans to announce its U.S. debut in next few months. Today, Olli is parked at the Auto Show technology pavilion entrance, but on Wednesday it will shuttle Local Motors CEO Jay Rogers to his keynote address.
