METRO Houston says the future of public transit is here. On Tuesday, it unveiled what it calls two major transportation advancements that will take the Houston area into the next generation.
First, METRO gave news reporters a look at an autonomous shuttle called FutureLink. The shuttle has been undergoing testing at the Kashmere Bus Operating Facility in northeast Houston. METRO says it is ADA-compliant and will provide efficient and convenient rides as part of the overall transit system.
FutureLink builds on a pilot project for driverless vehicles dating back several years, and you'll see it being tested on the streets of Houston next year.
