All Aboard the Autonomous Shuttle!

GUESTS: Pierre LaHutte, Navya; and Andrew Grant, BloombergNEF

About this episode

Fully autonomous and electric pods that seat 12 to 20 people are the perfect embodiment of a driverless future first imagined many decades ago.

But they’re already here, and in use.

With a design that puts function over form, these highly configurable and versatile vehicles will play a key role in the race to zero emission urban mobility.

Running initially on fixed routes in small locations, and on campuses and at airports, autonomous shuttles present an opportunity to replace large under-used diesel buses with an efficient, zero emission alternative.

This episode is all about the role of autonomous shuttles in the future of urban mobility, and to help us understand the evolution of these vehicles, we’re joined by Pierre LaHutte, Chief Executive of autonomous shuttle maker Navya, and Andrew Grant, Head of Intelligent Mobility at BloombergNEF.
