Autonomous Shuttles Begin Today in Detroit

It's happening today, June 27, 2018:  “the first commercial deployment of independent autonomous  vehicles on public streets in any urban core in America.” 

Autonomous shuttles will be driving employees of Quicken Loans between parking garages, offices and other destinations in downtown Detroit.

Five separate shuttles will start with a one mile loop between the Bricktown Parking Garage and Campus Martius from 5 a.m. all the way through midnight.

It's pretty amazing for me to think that this may one day be the norm for all car services ... no driver! How do you pay? Is there not a need to leave a tip because there's not an actual human being behind the wheel? And just how do you tell "the car" where you want to go?

Luckily for these Quicken Loans employees, there will be an attendant in the car to instruct them how to get to where they want to go once they become a passenger in these autonomous cars.

The future is NOW I suppose!
