Phoenix Motor announced the successful demonstration of the nation’s first autonomous cutaway shuttle bus with Houston METRO, in partnership with Perrone Robotics, STV and AECOM. This is the first Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Buy America-compliant mid-size autonomous bus in the United States. Built on Phoenix’s medium-duty ZEUS electric shuttle bus, the autonomous capability is enabled by equipping the vehicle with the TONY AV from Perrone Robotics, utilizing the Federal Transit Administration Accelerating Innovative Mobility grant awarded to Houston. The autonomous bus will serve TSU and the third ward community.
