Third commercial deployment in US for Oxa Driver

Oxa Driver is installed on the autonomous shuttles operated by Beep in a pilot program for Beep’s client, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) in Walnut Creek, California.

Named PRESTO, the autonomous shuttle service is operated by Beep for CCTA, servicing Rossmoor Walnut Creek and is CCTA’s first pilot with Oxa Driver.

The autonomous shuttles can carry up to seven seated and secured passengers, and will operate Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a safety attendant on board. 

The electric, autonomous shuttles will operate on a predetermined route in the Rossmoor community, running on Oxa Driver, with Beep managing the planning, deployment and operation of the autonomous mobility network.

“As we continue to expand our presence in the US, deploying our autonomous software products in different locations and environments is key as we work towards our goal of Universal Autonomy,” Oxa CEO Gavin Jackson said in a statement. “The Rossmoor community has a population of over 9,000 residents and is a perfect location for us to continue to evolve our autonomous vehicle software while collaborating with Beep to provide a private service connecting Rossmoor residents to key amenities and locations throughout their community.”
