A Tres Dinky Self-Driving Shuttle Nudges Paris Into the Future

Paris just followed tech-tastic cities like Singapore, Pittsburgh, and even Boston down the path toward an autonomous future. Travelers crossing the River Seine between the Gare d’Austerlitz and Gare de Lyon train stations, can now make the trip for free aboard aboard one of two electric, driverless shuttles.

The service spares travelers the pain of hauling their luggage without the complication and cost of a two-minute bus or taxi ride. The shuttles, made by the French firm Easymmile, carry six passengers and a human overseer to keep an eye on things. They trundle back and forth over the Charles de Gaulle bridge in a dedicated lane, making the 800-foot jaunt at about 12 mph.
