And unlike the free IUPUI shuttle, this one at least moved when I needed it. I didn’t know where it was in relation to me most of the time I was waiting, a problem solved by the JagLINE’s mobile app tracker. Like I told the driver, who I met again on my return trip because the shuttle refused to leave the middle of campus and was horribly late, “This technology has a way’s to go. But at the same time that’s pretty damning: free Ubers for weeks and “no one rides this thing”. And the fact they’ve been in operation during IUPUI’s summer is going to suppress ridership.

I assume that excludes the press and obviously the staff. The driver told me, “I’m pretty sure you’re the first person in Indianapolis to get picked up for a ride in one of these.” Sitting in the backseat of the Toyota Mobility self-driving car The car feels like riding in the backseat of a student driver’s car.A UV decontamination light is in the back mounted on the roof, presumably a COVID-protocol designed to eradicate germs.But it made me think, “I just kinda want to sit here and listen to my podcast.” I know enough about self-driving tech to understand how the cameras and LiDAR work, which it has in addition to some other bells and sensors. The driver was keen to encourage me to ask questions.If more than one person wanted in there’s no room lest they sit next to me in the backseat. The driver took control and pushed the gas lest someone plow into us. Pulling into traffic from a right-on-red caused the car to err to the side of caution so much it felt like it was stopped.

And it brakes slowly up to an intersection, something human drivers don’t do, to the detriment of their brakes. If a light changes, it’s fast to hit the brakes way back before the intersection.

The driver has to take control in most left turns, pulling out into traffic such as when we pulled onto New York from Herron’s “driveway” or a parking lot. I described it to someone later as “herky jerky”. The driver was nice, and Nic’s assessment is right. “Get in!” And really, when a random man with a bunch of “SELF DRIVING VEHICLE” stickers on his car asks you to get in, you do. The shuttle on my return trip from Capitol/Vermont “Red Line station”, I replied, knowing the shuttle route stopped there - its furthest point off campus. One of these self-driving cars pulled up and the driver sheepishly asked if I was waiting for a shuttle. I looked up the map, walked over to a stop near Herron School of Art and Design and was waiting a few minutes for it to arrive. I wanted lunch yesterday and knew the JagLine shuttles had a route that looped into Downtown. This is also partially because the Indianapolis Public Library continues to limit patrons to an hour at Central Library. I like the quiet the summer provides and I’m old enough to appreciate how wonderful working at University Library is. I’ve been working at IUPUI’s campus lately. The vigilance keeps the speed under 25 mph. This even includes detecting steam coming up from a vent or a manhole. It will slow if it senses something in its path and will slam on the brakes if necessary.

At times, the drive can be quite bumpy, as the extremely cautious technology takes into account every pedestrian, vehicle, and object that might cross paths with the car.
