Let Drive.ai's autonomous van take you to a Rangers game

Its second pilot program in Texas lands in Arlington's downtown district.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

At the end of July, Drive.ai launched its first autonomous pilot program in Frisco, Texas.

One program clearly wasn't enough, though.

Like its program in Frisco, the Arlington pilot is open to the public.

Users can hail a ride from a few different fixed pick-up and drop-off locations around downtown Arlington, using a kiosk at the location or Drive.ai's app.

Available in Arlington's downtown district, the self-driving shuttles will move residents between various points in the district.

It'll cover offices, restaurants and sporting events -- quick, short trips around town that are perfect for this kind of transportation.

Drive.ai relies on a fleet of Nissan NV200 small vans.

They're equipped with all the requisite hardware on all sides of the vehicle.

The vans also carry screens on the front and sides to alert passengers to the van's intentions.

That way, pedestrians will know the vehicle has acknowledged their presence at, say, a crosswalk.
