    The city's council of Beverly Hills voted unanimously to create a program to "develop autonomous vehicles as public transportation."

    Like communites quickly dumping their IT infrastruture for SaaS, they look to be dumping rapid transit.. OK Beverly Hills does not have a system... Busses are those from Los Angeles and Santa Monica's system that pass through... And the "Purple Line extension" is really just part of the Los Angeles Country Metro passing through BH from LA City en route to Century City and West Los Angeles (again City of Los Angeles). The planned stop at Rodeo/Wilshire is close to a lot of shopping in BH but not the residential core so its really about bringing shoppers in (and back out)-- maybe to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel--- rather than providing a transport alternative to BH residents. This could have forced the need for shuttles or other transit.. by side-stepping it they can continue to do nothing.. promise a future and wait..
