Anyone know the status of the test taxi van that was tested in Virginia Trace a short while ago?

The search continues to determine where it went.

It passed me on Rolling Acres this afternoon, so it's still running apparently.

There have been a couple presentations through out The Villages.....it will be a gradual implementation but it does sound promising based on the presentations I've seen. Considering the announcements from Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and others, there is a strong industry commitment to driver less and electric....it will be interesting.

Interesting..... but maybe not for the drivers that used to drive for a living...

Except the "driverless vehicle" will always require a "driver" here in TV - at least in any of our lifetimes. I saw it driving around the square at LSL the other day and it seemed very confused because it couldn't tell if it was dogs or babies in the baby carriages. It kept scratching it's tires in bewilderment.

One cut me off at the round about but there was a dummy in the driver's seat.

Driverless cars creep me out. But that’s just me. I would prefer a chauffeur, hat and all.

I just got an email from the Investment Education Club that says Thursday, January 24, at 3:00, at Sea Breeze, their topic will be “Investment Opportunities in Autonomous Vehicles.”

I have no interest in the topic but thought I would share the info here in case someone else is curious.

Also, if you have an interest in this club, you can sign up for their email and then you can pick and choose when you are interested in attending.

Addendum: just found out the location will be changed for this week. Will be back later with the information.

If it made it to Rolling Acres in one piece, there may be hope for the system.
Many people driven cars don't make it that far!
