Pinellas County, FL pursues three-month autonomous shuttle pilot in St. Petersburg

The Autonomous Vehicle Advantage (AVA) pilot used Beep all-electric shuttles on a one-mile route. Passengers rode for free with stops at the Vinoy Renaissance, the St. Pete Pier, and the Dali Museum. Each 15-foot shuttle held up to 10 passengers with limited seating due to COVID-19. An onboard operator with a remote control overrode self-driving functions as necessary. The St. Petersburg pilot modeled the potential for autonomous shuttles in other Pinellas County communities.
