BELLOWS FALLS â After months of on-again, off-again discussion, the town of Rockingham and the village of Bellows Falls have told the Vermont Agency of Transportation âno thanksâ to its driverless car experiment.
The automatic car project would have allowed a private company to come in and use local roads to test the vehicles.
In Vermont, only the town of Springfield has signed up for the experiment, and now with the Rockingham-Bellows Falls rejection, only the town of Alburgh has expressed interest, state officials said.
During one of their regular joint meetings this week, the Rockingham Select Board and Bellows Falls Village Board of Trustees failed to even muster a motion on the issue, with Agency of Transportation officials watching via Zoom.
