Self-driving shuttles are coming to Northern Virginia

Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall debuts self-driving bus in partnership with USACE.

Olli, a self-driving bus, launched at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall on June 19, 2019 as part of the joint Autonomous Vehicle Pilot Program.

“This opens up the door to many technological advances,” said Maj. Gen. Anthony Funkhouser, deputy commanding general for military and international operations for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “You can take this technology into the battlefield.”

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) will research and collect data on Olli for operations on smart bases of the future.
