Thanks for the reference. We did talk to one of the first employees of ultraglobal once and learnt its limitations and the challenges it faced. Autonomous vehicle technology is definitely complex but deployable for low speed vehicles in controlled environments. The recent developments in the autonomous Robotics space and a significant reduction in sensor prices make this the best time for such a product.
Also the fact that ultrapods carried millions of passengers despite it's environment being constrained to rails on either side, proves the point that completely autonomous vehicles that can move freely around the campuses will have a greater use case.
