Autonomous Polaris GEM neighborhood electric vehicle launching in 2023
Fox News
Polaris and Optimus Ride are teaming up to put an electric autonomous low-speed shuttle into production in 2023.
The vehicles operate on fixed, geofenced loops among pedestrians and traffic at speeds up to 25 mph using an array of cameras and lidar to monitor their surroundings. They currently have safety backup drivers onboard in case anything goes wrong, but Optimus Ride CEO Sean Harrington said they expect them to be fully autonomous and overseen by a central monitoring system with remote control capability by the time the production vehicles enter service in 2023. The project is targeted primarily at providing transportation in planned communities, campuses and mixed used developments, but can also function on public roads with regulatory approval. Riders can either find one of the vehicles at a stop location, or hail one using an app.
