Phoenix Bus Orlando highlights that while semi-autonomous vehicle technology can enhance safety and drivability, human drivers remain essential to manage the complex logistics, security, and adaptability needed in group transit, especially amid Orlando's projected 2026 tourism and corporate events boom.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.
