M-City Driverless Shuttle
A fully autonomous, electric shuttle manufactured by French firm NAVYA was introduced onto the Mcity test site in December 2016. This is the first use of the NAVYA ARMA in North America. The vehicle provides tours of the Mcity grounds and supports autonomous vehicle research, initially through TechLab at Mcity, U-M’s incubator for mobility startups.
