As part of Local Motors’ series of fleet challenges, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia has been selected as the next location to receive Local Motors’ Olli autonomous shuttle.

The fleet of shuttles is expected to arrive at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in the coming weeks after Local Motors maps the route the shuttle will use. Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall will get to use the shuttles for approximately three months.

“The entries we received for this challenge in the Greater Washington, D.C. area really blew us away and encompassed a diverse selection of potential user situations,” says Jay Rogers, CEO and co-founder of Local Motors.

“In some aspects, technology is moving faster than the regulations that govern it. And this deployment for Olli will put autonomy within reach of those who are working to regulate it, which we welcome. It is exciting to see innovation in action, and Olli is an example of that.”

According to Local Motors, Olli’s route will effectively connect Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall from end to end, providing access to several stops throughout the base along the way, including a chapel, a health clinic and a child development center.

“We believe Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall will serve as an exceptional proving ground for Olli, illustrating how the military can engage with innovative, autonomous technology to benefit both our service and civilian populations,” says Lt. Col. Brandon Newell, West Lead for Installation werX.

The leader of a military program that seeks to discover and integrate new autonomous technology domestically and abroad, Newell adds, “this partnership has the potential to provide tremendous insight into the future of mobility options at the base, and we look forward to the ride.”

The Marine Corps submitted the fleet challenge entry for Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall on behalf of a project it is co-sponsoring with the Army.
