Say ‘Howdy’ to Texas’s Latest Self-Driving Cars

Drive.ai’s coming expansion of its self-driving car pilot to Arlington, Texas, isn’t its first driverless rodeo. But the testing, taking place between Dallas and Fort Worth, will validate its vehicles’ ability to handle a crowded entertainment district and process all the data that comes with it. After launching its maiden pilot in nearby Frisco in July, Drive.ai said it would extend its ride-hailing trial to the south, with three autonomous vans offering free rides to Arlington residents and visitors for one year, starting Oct. 19.
