Last-Mile Connectivity for Miami-Dade Public Transportation

Today, I saw two very interesting identical autonomous vehicles driving down Red Road in the South Miami, FL area.

After a quick search online, I found out the vehicle is yet another innovative piece of Miami-Dade County’s public transportation network. As you can see, the mini-van has several cameras, sonar and radar apparatus attached to allow for a driver-free ride for its passengers.

Would you ride in one of these autonomous vehicles?

Here is the website’s information:
