Local Motors of Chandler, Arizona is a world leader in the manufacture of 3D-printed vehicles, like the autonomous electric shuttle it calls Olli.
At this moment, Olli self-driving trams are in service in Adelaide, Akron, Seoul, and at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Now, two Olli shuttles will be dropping off and picking up to 8 students at a time at Sacramento State in California for the next 90 days, according to Jay Rogers, CEO of Local Motors. The Sacramento Bee says an attendant will be on board at all times to operate an emergency brake if necessary but the autonomous shuttles will stop on their own for potential hazards, using a combination of lidar and radar sensors together with a number of cameras and a pre-programmed GPS map.
