Overview


Summary

The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Pilot Project is designed to evaluate the real-world performance, safety, and scalability of autonomous driving technologies in a controlled but operational environment. The project aims to move beyond simulation by deploying autonomous vehicles in defined use cases to assess how well current solutions integrate with existing infrastructure, operational workflows, and regulatory requirements.

Through this pilot, we seek to validate key capabilities such as navigation, perception, decision-making, fleet management, and remote support while measuring reliability, safety outcomes, and user experience. The project also serves as a platform to identify technical, operational, and organizational challenges that must be addressed prior to broader deployment.

Ultimately, the pilot is intended to inform future investment and deployment decisions by generating data-driven insights, establishing best practices, and fostering collaboration with technology vendors who can demonstrate mature, adaptable, and supportable autonomous solutions aligned with our long-term mobility and operational goals.
