The Villages, Florida Autonomous Vehicles
In early 2018, The Villages was chosen for a pilot program offering autonomous taxis in the area of Lake Sumter Landing. In the early stages of the program, the vehicle will have a safety driver in the driver's seat and later the driver will be removed and the automobile would be monitored from a control station. The technology-rich Ford Fusion Hybrid taxi will be operated by Voyage Auto, a San Jose, California startup company.
The Villages became one of the first cities in the United States to offer paid taxi service using autonomous vehicles throughout the community. (Wikipedia)
