While the world waits for autonomous cars to become a reality, autonomous shuttles are popping up in towns across America, moving people around college campuses, downtowns and shopping locations. And soon, the crowds gathering to watch World Cup soccer will be able to experience them as well.
Four autonomous shuttles will be deployed on a two-mile loop adjacent to the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile network of public parks, multi-use trails, transit and affordable housing, during the competition. Beep, a transportation solutions company, will be providing the shuttles for the program.
The shuttles won’t just be in town just for the World Cup. A 12-month, $3 million pilot program, funded by the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority and Georgia’s Transit Trust Fund, will kick off in January 2026.
