Default Autonomous taxis at LSL

Followed a link in another post about the history of TV and it included the following section about the pilot program for transportation.

Did anyone experience it and can share their thoughts?



Autonomous vehicles
In early 2018, The Villages was chosen for a pilot program offering autonomous taxis in the area of Lake Sumter Landing. In the early stages of the program, the vehicle will have a safety driver in the driver's seat and later the driver will be removed and the automobile would be monitored from a control station. The technology-rich Ford Fusion Hybrid and Chrysler Pacifica minivan taxis will be operated by Voyage Auto, a San Jose, California startup company. The Villages has 0.5 per cent stake in Voyage Auto.[23][109]
The Villages became one of the first cities in the United States to offer paid taxi service using autonomous vehicles throughout the community.
