Shotgun Cab Wants Chicago to Put Everyone in the Front Seat
A research-backed proposal for a Chicago-owned fleet of two-seat, driverless electric cabs.
Field notes
The proposal is organized around a two-seat autonomous electric cab, with sections addressing commuters, city policy, vehicle design, research, objections, and implementation. Its supporting material cites Waymo mileage, IIHS and NHTSA safety findings, Chicago crash data, Illinois electricity data, and public transportation records. The page presents lower fares, continuous availability, and reduced parking and crash impacts as intended outcomes, while a fare table and fleet operation remain described as future steps.
