There are getting to be many little systems of slow autonomous short buses.[1]  These will probably be all over campuses big enough to have shuttle buses soon.<p>This may be the first way autonomous driving is deployed.  Little buses go to destinations nearby, or take you to a station for larger and faster transit.  Most trips would be very short, 1 km or so.  The big advantage of driverless is that many little buses don&#x27;t cost more per seat than a few big ones.  A city bus costs $300K to $500K for a 50-seat bus.  If somebody can build an 8 passenger autonomous bus for $75K, that&#x27;s a win all by itself.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;the-uss-first-autonomous-buses-will-drive-around-a-cali-1734989938" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;the-uss-first-autonomous-buses-will-drive...</a>
