 dreaming of a Cat Bus....

How about adding a tiny urban autonomous e-bus that would go down "slow streets" or on commercial streets in a hop-on/hop-off way.

like seen in india, philippines, mexico, cuba, San Francisco cable cars but with new tech and smaller (golf cart-ish)

At 20mph and convenient this would not replace bus/taxi/bike/subway...   just add new option.   

maybe free to hop-on hop-off?

maybe like this gem-e but with the seats facing out and autonomous?  

name?  "Cat Bus"?
