Automated Shuttles
Tests, demonstrations and studies
2getthere was not only the first company to introduce autonomous vehicles without safety steward (a.d. 1997), but also the first company to demonstrate these in mixed traffic demonstrations (a.d. 2003). Although, just like all the demonstrations generating all the attention at this time, we had a safety steward on-board at that time.

And have conducted numerous over the years, with the ones indicated below in the public domain.
