I'm a student at SCU and I'm excited to see these on campus; it's not a big enough campus to merit having it's own shuttle system, but it should be a perfect testbed for the platform.
We will meet soon then :) .. hope you are exited to get autonomous rides. University authorities are excited to deploy such technology both to stay ahead and have cool inspiring tech in campus and also to help elderly people like some professors and visitors (who regularly come to church), or anyone who has trouble walking and they can even use it for logistics within campus. When something becomes much cheaper in the industry use-case possibilities explode. So lots of reasons even for a small campus and everyone is excited about it.
Your comment echoes a doubt I have. Is there really a sizeable market for this? It's not such a new concept as one may believe. For example, in some offices, such robots carried around the mail 15 years ago already.
