As of end of 2015, the
Gelderland county in the
Netherlands, plans to put it to use on a 7 km long route between
Ede-Wageningen station and the campus of
Wageningen University and Research Center. In September 2016, a pilot consisting of a short public transport route served by two EZ10 vehicles started in the village of
Appelscha. In December 2016, the EZ10 began use in the first autonomous vehicle passenger shuttle route in
North America, looping through Bishop Ranch Office Park in
San Ramon, California, operated by
First Transit. In 2017, EZ10 was introduced on the grounds of National Taiwan University in Taipei, and in
Tallinn,
Estonia. In conjunction with Estonia's presidency of the EU Council, the minibus was presented in Tallinn on 14 July 2017 by EasyMile, and the tech companies in Estonia that co-financed the month-and-a-half-long project to bring the shuttle bus to the country. The two buses serve one line officially since 29 July, including a stretch of tram line under reconstruction, and run in the city until the end of August. In February 2020, US vehicle safety regulators ordered a suspension of passenger operations for 16 autonomous shuttles operated by EasyMile after a passenger injury. The Paris transport authority,
RATP Group, started testing EasyMile EZ10 shuttles on regular roads (with an employee on board) in January 2021, taking passengers to
Bois de Vincennes on weekends. On August 10, 2021, EZ10 was deployed on the
Colorado School of Mines campus in
Golden, Colorado. Nicknamed The Mines Rover, the service consisted of nine buses on three routes connecting locations on campus and in downtown Golden. As of its deployment, it was the largest automated shuttle service in the
United States. EZ10 was set to serve the Colorado School of Mines for one year, but was discontinued in December, 2021 after one semester, citing limitations in meeting high expectations of reliability and usefulness. At the end of September 2021, the EZ10 was deployed at the Kongsberg Technology Park in Norway. The service is fully driverless and there is no more safety driver present during operation. == See also ==
