When children are old enough and large enough to use the vehicle seat belt alone, they should always use lap and shoulder seat belts for optimal protection.

All children younger than age 13 should be restrained in the rear seats of vehicles for optimal protection.

Autonomous Vehicles

About the Vehicles

An autonomous vehicle can navigate itself without a human. Autonomous vehicles are more commonly known as self-driving vehicles.

How it Works

May Mobility uses unique technology to collect data from the shuttle each time it is on the road. This improves the shuttle by giving it the ability to “think” on the road and grow smarter.

Accessibility
