Two driverless shuttles are being tested at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
The four-passenger, autonomous vehicles are part of the "Michigan Mobility Challenge" announced last year. It's looking for ways to improve transportation for people who are disabled. Assistant Western engineering professor Zach Asher is in charge of the university's part of the project:
"We're offering a mobility solution for wheelchair users and combining that with autonomous vehicles, and it's sort of, really aggressive."
Pratt and Miller, a Michigan-based engineering company is also involved in the project, along with the University of Michigan. The autonomous shuttles will be tested on Western's main campus through the end of the month.
