Interested in CR2C2 activities and engagement opportunities?
CR2C2 researchers at NCA&T developed Aggie Autonomous Shuttles gave rides to public, connecting the NCA&T campus and neighborhood to downtown Greensboro for a one-month pilot program. These two areas are about one mile apart, and a trip between A&T’s campus to downtown Greensboro takes about 8 minutes. The maximum speed of the vehicles was 25 mph. There were two stops: one in front of the Harold L. Martin Sr. Engineering Research and Innovation Complex at N.C. A&T and the other was in front of the Greensboro Children Museum, giving riders access to the Greensboro Public Library, Greensboro History Museum, Greensboro Cultural Center, LeBauer Park, Governors Court, and downtown businesses and restaurants.
