Over 11,000 riders have taken the autonomous shuttles up to now, co-founder and CEO of May Mobility Edwin Olson told Xinhua. The program aims to address congestion issues in a growing city and introduce alternative modes of transportation, he said.
In Detroit, the city's first network of electric vehicles (EVs) fast chargers was deployed to the public on Wednesday, enabling people to fast-charge their EVs in the downtown area and learn about the benefits of mobility technologies.
The four ChargePoint DC fast charger stations, the first-of-their-kind, were launched in Beacon Park in downtown city.
The initiative furthers the City of Detroit's downtown accessibility priority of improving traffic conditions and parking offerings for Detroit residents and visitors, Jeff Mason, CEO of MEDC, told Xinhua.
"The project helped build a set of pilots for the City of Detroit that were informed by both Detroiters and the private sector," said Joel Howrani Heeres, director of Office of Sustainability in the City of Detroit.
INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGIES
New technologies involving tools like robots, simulation softwares and augmented reality are boosting Michigan's innovation capability and changing its manufacturing future.
Robots have been applied in hospitals for drug delivery and farms for weeding.
Bedestrian, an Ann Arbor-based startup, developed its wheelchair-sized autonomous delivery vehicle, which is working at Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn to transport pharmaceuticals from the pharmacy lab to cancer center.
