Glydways, a Silicon Valley autonomous transportation company, has secured a contract to develop a mass transit system connecting Atlanta's convention center to its airport. The company, backed by notable investors like Vinod Khosla and OpenAI's Sam Altman, aims to create small, electric-powered autonomous vehicles that operate on a fixed path. These compact vehicles are designed to transport passengers at rates similar to rail systems but at a significantly lower cost.
The innovative design of Glydways shuttles, which are narrower than traditional vehicles, allows for a reduced footprint in urban environments. The system is projected to handle up to 10,000 passengers per hour, although this claim has faced skepticism from experts. Glydways is also exploring additional projects, including a route in the Bay Area, indicating a growing acceptance of autonomous transit solutions.
