The automated shuttles will start rolling around Canyon Village as a prelude for future visitor services and more self-driving vehicles in the national parks.
This week, two automated vehicles arrived in Yellowstone. These shuttles will start circling through areas around Canyon Village as part of a trial that could have big implications for the future of the National Park Service.

The Yellowstone program has been dubbed T.E.D.D.Y. – The Electric Driverless Demonstration in Yellowstone.
Automated vehicles in the park were announced last fall. It’s part of a trial program to see if the NPS can integrate these vehicles into park settings to enhance the visitor experience.
