[AutonomousVehicles] [AutonomousVeh Introduction

[pmdonahue2 at gmail.com]

Hello Angela and everyone,

 

                In the interest of time I’ll send you the WAYMO URL so they can learn about Waymo for themselves. Here it is.

Waymo URL: http://www.waymo.com

 

                Waymo One is theiride hailing service. Waymo Via is their freight halling service. Yup they also operate autonomous trucks too.

 

                All the best with talking to your elected officials on Monday. Just one thing. Don’t buy the line that if they do it for you they’ll need to do it for everybody else. How often have we heard that garbage? When we hear that junk we reply with something like, “Exactly. Blind people aren’’t the only ones with transportation issues. If you do it for us the whole community will benefit.”

 

                The idea that all benefit from products and services created for the blind was hit upon by several presenters during the national convention. Having reliable transportation that a municipality would not have to subsidize is a win-win for everyone. All the best.

Thank you. Can you please forward me the information he sent? I'm having lunch with two of my local Commissioners on Monday July 18th. I really would like to have this information in hand.

 

Best regards, Angela Daniel

Hello Angela and everyone,

 

                My husband already sent the Waymo information and some other resources. Yes, we have to work on building more test partnerships with Waymo or LTAD. This autonomous vehicle talk makes my head spin, but in a good way.

Good new day Rising. Yes Mary I agree. I was not at the convention this year. But please share the waymo contact information so we can get the ball rolling with testing in my County in Georgia. Thanks for the feedback. Best regards, Angela Daniel

Good evening everyone,

 

                You have probably seen my husband on this list, but after I heard the presentation from Wamo at the national convention yesterday, I wanted to come on. I use paratransit three days a week when I go to work on site or for occasional medical appointments, and have used a service called Go Go Grandparent for seniors. Go Go Grandparent contracts with Lyft and Uber to give rides. I am sick to death of waiting around for lost or late rides, and after yesterday’s presentation from WAMO, it is high time we call our state legislators and city or town representatives to make test sites for WAMO. At least, rides would be there when we want them, and when we wanted to return. We plan on calling our council representative as well, so we will not tell anyone to do something we are not doing!

 

                Go, WAMO!

 

Mary Donahue
