(Matt O'Brien | AP file photo) An autonomous shuttle bus, foreground, is seen Wednesday, May 15, 2019, in Olneyville Square in Providence, R.I. The vehicle, operated by Michigan-based May Mobility, was operating during the public launch of a state-funded pilot for the shuttle service called "Little Roady." The shuttle offers free rides on a 12-stop urban loop that links to a train station. UTA is planning a different type of 'microtransit' that will be a cross between Uber and traditional bus service.
