Recently, New Orleans got a first-hand look at a self-driving, autonomous transit vehicle.
In front of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, media, business leaders and government officials, including Mayor Mitch Landrieu, gathered Jan. 30 to see the EasyMile EZ10 in motion. The AV shuttle is a product of Transdev, the largest private-sector operator of multiple modes of transit in North America.
The company is currently in discussions about how automated vehicles like the EasyMile can be used in the city.
