Virginia's future transportation system will be second to none once we fully embrace the opportunities that automated public transportation will provide. From automated passenger rail systems to driverless buses and shuttles, travelers will be able to rely on a state-of-the-art transportation system that is safe, low in cost, and more dependable than ever.
Automated passenger rail has already debuted in Virginia with Dulles International Airport's Aerotrain system. Google, TORC Robotics, and many other UMS companies large and small are bringing their driverless technology business here to Virginia.
