Automated transportation.
I agree with tinman.
This is yet another case of typical media hype instead of sticking to the facts. The head line should have said - Robotic Chauffeurs for the Disabled ???
Cars like this would be a huge leap in providing personal transportation flexibility to many disabled who are chained to using public transportation, ride services or family members to do everyday tasks the rest of us take for granted.
The author could have questioned a public official or transportation expert on the possibility of designating certain public handicapped parking spaces for robotic assist vehicles only, giving robotic assist vehicles access to HOV lanes or a dozen other relevant questions.
The story is strong enough to stand on its own without hype. Nice try, but my journalism teacher would have given you a D for that article for poor execution of a great story.
