Wednesday's news comes on the heels of an announcement this week that Navya plans to establish its first US manufacturing operation in southeast MI.
The shuttles, manufactured by the French startup Navya, has no pedals or steering wheel and can carry up to 15 passengers. The company intends to build up to 20 Arma shuttles by the end of 2017 and as many as 100 in 2018. The electric shuttles are made by French startup NAVYA, which has deployed 25 shuttles worldwide since a year ago and is operating them on campuses in Australia and Japan.
Students at the University of MI this fall will be the first ever to go to a school with a driverless bus system.
Mcity, a U-M-led public-private partnership to accelerate advanced mobility vehicles and technologies, will launch a driverless shuttle service on the University of Michigan's North Campus beginning this fall. "And I think you'll see as we ride along, the shuttle operates in a very conservative fashion".
