WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) Drones, robots and self-driving cars were buzzing through downtown Westminster on Thursday for the ribbon-cutting of the first phase of MAGIC’s autonomous corridor project.
MAGIC, which stands for Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory, is a technology nonprofit in Carroll County and it has a plan to improve transportation downtown. MAGIC is working with Dynamic Dimensions Technologies, or DDT, to scan routes so autonomous shuttles can operate on a circuit and transport residents from place to place.
Graham Dodge, the executive director of MAGIC, said in a November interview the vehicles will have sensors that will help avoid obstacles in roads and adjust to formats like traffic circles. Its programming will allow the shuttle to understand the city’s format and it will continuously scan the layout.
