Electric, Autonomous Bus Debuts at Michigan State University
No driver. No gas. No problem.
Michigan State University has debuted its electric, autonomous bus after months of trial runs.
The 27-foot, 22-seat bus is one of the largest of its kind on U.S. roadways to date, according to a Tuesday, May 10 university news release.
With the bus now officially accepting passengers, MSU takes another step in its “smart mobility” initiative, which pushes for clean transportation to reduce its carbon footprint.
