MIT Autonomous Bicycle Project

The MIT Autonomous Bicycle Project offers a new solution to current bicycle-sharing systems. The bike is ridden by the user as a normal bicycle and when a trip is complete, it transforms into a tricycle for lateral stability and it drives autonomously to its next user. This addresses concerns with current systems including rebalancing and over-quantification of fleets. The current prototype is operated through a remote control - next steps include integrating the autonomy hardware and software.
