Recently, Florida State College at Jacksonville introduced a driverless vehicle to transport students around campus. This technology is part of a growing movement towards autonomous vehicles, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in the city.
The company behind these vehicles, Beep, has ties to Jacksonville as well. Joe Moye, the founder of Beep, has family served in the Navy at Mayport and decided to stay in the city. Beep specializes in deploying purpose-built, autonomous electric shuttles that can transport 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 his 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 and offer 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. The show explores how this technology is shaping the way we move people in society and provides insights into what’s next for this growing industry.
