Driverless transportation to return to Arlington, Texas

(TNS) — Driverless transportation will return to Arlington in March as the city continues testing best uses for the burgeoning technology.

As city staff and council members hash out details of a possible citywide expansion of the on-demand rideshare service Via, planners are gathering data and public opinion for Arlington’s latest autonomous vehicle pilot program, RAPID. The program is funded through a $1.7 million grant through the Federal Transportation Administration, and the city has partnered with Via, UT Arlington and autonomous vehicle startup May Mobility to launch the program in March.
