In recent years, autonomous vehicles have become increasingly popular and Jacksonville is at the forefront of this movement. Florida State College at Jacksonville recently introduced a driverless vehicle to transport students around campus, showcasing the city’s commitment to innovation and progress.

The technology behind these vehicles has a local connection, as Joe Moye, the founder of Beep, a company that produces autonomous vehicles used by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, has ties to the city. Beep specializes in deploying purpose-built, autonomous electric shuttles that are capable of transporting multiple passengers. This technology aims to revolutionize transportation by providing alternative options for those who may not have access to traditional means of transportation.

Moye discussed the vision behind bringing autonomous vehicles to Jacksonville during a recent episode of This Week in Jacksonville: Business Edition. He emphasized their usefulness in downtown areas, medical campuses, academic campuses, and airports. These vehicles are designed to provide efficient transportation services in these environments, offering a new way for people to get around.

This Week in Jacksonville: Business Edition examines the connections and challenges related to Jacksonville’s transportation future, shedding light on the potential impact of autonomous vehicles in the city.
