In its announcement on Monday, Drive.ai said it will offer rides to over 10,000 people in Level 4 self-driving vehicles within a geofenced area that includes retail, entertainment, and office spaces as part of a six-month pilot program. >The company has teamed up with Frisco, Texas — a city of about 170,000 people — and its transportation management agency to finalize the exact drop-off areas between May and the July launch date. In that time, the city and Drive.ai are also working to educate the public about the self-driving technology in the compact vans that are being used in the program. The agencies will also work to gauge public response to determine the final drop-off locations.
