Walt Disney World is testing a fleet of driverless shuttles
that would help transport guests around the Florida theme parks and resorts,
reports the Los Angeles Times.
Disney is in "late-stage negotiation" with two
manufacturers of driverless or autonomous shuttles: Phoenix-based Local Motors
and Parisian company Navya.
The plan is to initiate a pilot program this year that would
transport employees in the driverless vehicles, and then begin transporting
park visitors in the shuttles sometime next year, the Los Angeles Times said.
