Description
Description | Glydways operates a 14-acre Development and Demonstration Facility at the former Hilltop Mall in Richmond, featuring a test track for driverless electric pods as part of an on-demand automated transit system. The facility includes over a mile of guideway track, a 13,000-square-foot maintenance and storage building, and a control center. It serves as the primary hub for testing safety, reliability, and fleet operations ahead of a planned public pilot in 2026. The project aims to build a scalable, zero-emission transit system to reduce congestion and emissions, with future plans to support a 28-mile automated transit network in East Contra Costa County. |
