Olli, a 3D printed, self-driving minibus, ready to hit the roads in US
NATIONAL HARBOR — A new maker of self-driving vehicles burst onto the scene Thursday (June 16) in partnership with IBM’s supercomputer platform Watson, and it’s ready to roll right now.
The vehicle — a 3D-printed minibus called “Olli” capable of carrying 12 people — was unveiled by Arizona-based start-up Local Motors outside the US capital city Washington.
Olli was designed as an on-demand transportation solution that passengers can summon with a mobile app, like Uber rides. And it can be “printed” to specification in “micro factories” in a matter of hours.
Olli will be demonstrated in National Harbor, Maryland, over the next few months with additional trials expected in Las Vegas and Miami. Local Motors is also in talks to test the vehicles in dozens of cities around the world including Berlin, Copenhagen and Canberra.
