Autonomous Vehicle News
An autonomous shuttle takes to the streets of Dunedin Wednesday under a pilot program with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority. PSTA brings its self-driving shuttle AVA, or autonomous vehicle advantage, farther north from St. Pete to see who would ride in a self-driving vehicle to explore their city. "You can park even in downtown Dunedin or go get a bite to eat after the game." City officials said three to six people fit inside the shuttle, and it does not drive faster than 15 miles an hour. AdvertisementThe shuttle starts Wednesday and will run Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. PSTA said it is funding the program with TBARTA, and PSTA plans to move the shuttle to Clearwater Beach after the Dunedin pilot wraps up in August.
