AUSTIN (KXAN) — The City of Austin’s transportation department is helping pave the way for when autonomous cars hit the roads in Central Texas.\nTransportation leaders are working on several initiatives to improve local infrastructure, which would better accommodate autonomous vehicle traffic.\nThe Ford Autonomous Vehicles began appearing in downtown and east Austin.\nAt first, the autonomous cars were driven by people as they used Argo AI’s technology to map out Austin’s streets.\nIn the meantime, the City of Austin is working to add technology the cars would use to operate without drivers.
