CHALLENGE)
15 words max Brining autonomy and innovative technology to a residential neighborhood
paragraph H2 b 200 words with images
EZ10 uses an innovative suite of sensors that deliver a 360-degree view around the vehicle. The sensors and
intelligent software help the vehicle understand where it is; in which direction to steer; and when to slow down,
accelerate, or stop for something in its path. Mapping allows the vehicle to know every inch of its route and
navigate through various traffic conditions. Ambassadors provide riders with information about the route and
technology, and can take control of the vehicle at any time.
The challenge to navigate a complexe environment of other vehicles and pedestrians required smart
integration with existing platforms. LEAP was also designed to connect residents who live in the area to the
Central Ohio Transit Authority’s (COTA) CMAX line to access jobs and services….
