Tales From The Gated Community
A recent article in the New York Times featured the introduction of a driverless automobile in a gated community in California. The community, located near San Jose and called, The Villages Golf and Country Club, has a significant constituency of seniors, the average age of residents being 78.
This is a community where golf cars, outfitted and customized as personal transportation vehicles (PTVs), play a major role in providing necessary mobility within the general property. On the other hand, it is, as are most gated communities, a mixed environment with regard to vehicle use. Most residents have both a PTV and a conventional, on-road automobile. This mixed transportation environment presents certain challenges when it comes to self-driving vehicles.
