Yesterday, Boston-based autonomous vehicle technology company Optimus Ride announced a new partnership with real estate company Brookfield Properties to introduce Optimus Ride’s self-driving vehicles to Brookfield properties around the world. The first location will be the 36-acre Halley Rise mixed-use development near Reston, Va., where, beginning in June, Optimus Ride will introduce three vehicles to transport tenants from their offices to parking lots around the site. According to a press release, an on-site operations team will provide maintenance and oversight of the vehicles. [Optimus Ride]
