As Greensboro builds upon its transit service to meet future demands, it will be looking towards the deployment of autonomous, shared, and connected transit.
The US City of Greensboro, North Carolina, and the Greensboro Transit Agency, along with Guident have joined the Aces Mobility Coalition to help advance shared autonomous mobility.
Greensboro is a fast-growing area attracting new manufacturing jobs in the region such as JetZero and Toyota’s first battery manufacturing plant in North America. With Greensboro home to nine colleges and universities, the city will be a host for the 2029 Fisu World University Summer Games, one of the largest multi-sport events in the world behind the Olympics.
Transit to meet future demands
Greensboro will also serve as a base camp for one of the Fifa World Cup teams when the games come to the US next year. As the City of Greensboro and the Greensboro Transit Agency build upon their transit service to meet future demands, they will be looking towards the deployment of autonomous, shared, and connected transit.
“Greensboro and Guident both bring expertise and commitment to the shared mobility conversation,” said Scott Belcher, executive director of Aces Mobility Coalition. “They join our growing base of public sector members, private industry, and academia, representing a broad cross section of the innovators and leaders who will drive the deployment of Aces [autonomous, connected, electric, and shared] technology across the nation.”
Guident, which was founded in 2019 in Boca Raton, Florida, specialises in autonomous vehicle (AV) remote monitoring and teleoperation technology. The firm provides a patented remote monitor and control centre (RMCC) solution that delivers real time oversight of fleets of Level 4 autonomous shuttles and inspection robots through human-in-the-loop AI systems.
In addition to participating in live pilots including the cities of West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, last month the company achieved a historic milestone in autonomous mobility by successfully teleoperating an Adastec automated electric bus on the campus of
The vehicle was remotely driven in near, real-time from Guident’s RMCC located 1,200 miles away in Boca Raton, Florida. The company claims the achievement marks the first known instance of long-distance remote control of a full-size automated bus in an operational setting.
“These organisations are demonstrating how Aces solutions are addressing mobility issues with reliable technology that’s ready to go to work right now,” added Belcher. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Greensboro and Guident to the conversation.”
The Aces Mobility Coalition champions the transformation of transportation systems through autonomous, connected, electric, and shared (Aces) technologies. It reports members are committed to building a sustainable, inclusive, and smart mobility future. The coalition provides technical guidance, advocates for enabling policies, and support public-private pilots to demonstrate scalable solutions.
