Ryan Chin: Cities are basically systems of systems.

And those systems can operate optimally or not optimally.

And a key component of it is how we move around in that.

Chris Osgood: So, what you're seeing right now

Where we often see congestion in the city of Boston

are those places where people are trying to get onto

and we're focused on those nine square miles

most fundamentally change transportation,

autonomous vehicles is at the top of that list.

The hell scenario is that we have individual

And eventually we'll have an autonomous traffic jam

full of gas-emitting, fossil-fuel-burning,

single-occupant vehicles that are autonomous.

and the reason why we based it there is that

it has all the unique roads, all the unique drivers,

and all the unique weather of Massachusetts,

Jenny Larios Berlin: Optimus Ride wants to provide a shared

Chin: So, what if you had, in a self-driving system

Osgood: Autonomous vehicles can potentially work better

as part of a network and consequently increase

the reliability of travel on our streets.

That is why the city of Boston is really actively engaged

Larios Berlin: So, you're currently in Optimus City.

Optimus City is about 9,000 square feet of space,

which allows us to have our own private test track.

as much driverless testing as we need to fully vet it

and the vehicle is programmed to drive autonomously

We have John and Alfredo, our two test operators.

We're also planning and looking at the trajectory

Osgood: One of the things that we are learning through

the process of having testing on city of Boston streets is

that we need to be making to city streets

to have them work for autonomous vehicles.

One of those things would be a digital atlas

Potentially a digital layer a vehicle would have

this technology in an existing city today

I also believe that you can design a city today
