Relay, an autonomous shuttle program launched in Virginia, is offering officials a better understanding of how driverless shuttles navigate live traffic, and how to improve work zone safety. The program connected a rail station with a busy residential and shopping district, operating in live traffic, according to Gov Tech. It was viewed largely as a pilot program to introduce the technology to users, close-first mile, last-mile gaps, and explore how AV shuttles could be used daily.
Some of the Relay shuttle challenges included its low speed (10 mph), an inability to operate fully in inclement weather, and downtime needed for software upgrades. The county is looking into shuttles with more capabilities and features, as well as exploring an on-demand service model.

Technology news briefs and updates for the week of June 6, 2021:
Ossia and Xirgo develop trailer trackers that charge wirelessly
Ossia, creator of an over-the-air charging technology, Cota Real Wireless Power, has developed a new Cota-powered Trailer Tracking Yard Management Solution in partnership with IoT device supplier Xirgo Technologies.
The companies say the new technology is ideal for large distribution centers (DCs) to solve the problem of misplaced trailers.
Temporary trackers used by shippers require charging between uses, but distribution centers lack the infrastructure to charge thousands of trackers. Xirgo’s Cota-powered asset trackers and charging stations address this issue. A GPS tracker charges wirelessly inside a Xirgo Cota wireless charging enclosure.
