i was looking at the LA metro system last night and the amtraks. if you use these to get a couple miles to the train AND they improve integration with using multiple modes of transport they could be really useful.
I read an article recently about the Holon vehicle that was touting that it was designed by Pininfarina. It also said it would mainly be used like a shuttle bus. That makes some sense for an autonomous vehicle, because it would be kept to limited routes and easier to manage. I don't think the people riding the van will care who designed it, as long as it gets them to their destination safely.
Holon doesn't seem to have any name recognition yet. I forgot their name from the article I read, and I had to add "Shuttle" to my Google search to find the right one.
