Beverly Hills to Develop Autonomous Vehicles

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

The Beverly Hills City Council voted unanimously this week to adopt a resolution to develop driverless vehicles that will provide public transportation throughout the city.

The program is part of Beverly Hills mayor John Mirisch's plan for a municipally owned fleet of autonomous vehicles that would function as an on-demand car shuttle service to and from any address in the city.

Because it comprises only 5.7 square miles, "Beverly Hills is the perfect community to take the lead and make this technology a reality," Mirisch said in a statement announcing the program. "It is now both feasible and safe for autonomous cars to be on the road."

The future is here.
