Whitby, ON evaluates self-driving transit options during Whitby Autonomous Vehicle Electric pilot
Whitby, ON Autonomous Vehicle Electric Pilot Self-Driving
A SmartCone Technologies driverless shuttle will coordinate with smart road infrastructure on a six-kilometer route. This route starts from the Whitby GO Transit station and circles the Port of Whitby seven days a week. A testing period without passengers will be followed by free rides for commuters in late 2021. Whitby, Durham Regional Transit, and other stakeholders are studying how to add service in low-density areas without significant operating expenses.
