EasyMile’s autonomous vehicle on Karragarra Island in Queensland is being called “the technology that’s set to change the way we travel.” It is the first-ever driverless service to connect with a public ferry terminal, and the first on-road trial of a driverless bus in the state.
The six-month trial is a joint initiative between the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) and Redland City Council, with the support of Council of Mayors SEQ. It is operating on a 3.8 kilometre fixed loop route, co-ordinated with ferry arrivals where passengers can hop on or off at one of eight bus stops along the route.
