Public transit has struggled to recover its pre-pandemic ridership, but an autonomous car company has a driverless transportation system that could make East Contra Costa County a leader in modern transit design.

On Tuesday, the county sponsored a technology fair at Bishop Ranch business park, which already has autonomous shuttles cruising through its parking lots. On display were a driverless mini-van for wheelchair bound people and a self-driving semi truck. But the star of the show was kept under wraps until the big reveal. 'Imagine that this is going to be your daily commute!' said Gokul Hemmady, CEO of the autonomous car company Glydways, as the crowd applauded.

And because the cars are only about five feet wide, the travel route is small enough to run alongside trails, railroad tracks and streets without removing any existing lanes.'Mass transit should be about moving lots of people in a short period of time in a very small footprint,' said Hemmady.The routes are designed to get people to and from major points of interest, such as other transit systems, downtowns and commercial centers.
