Perrone Robotics will employ Ouster's lidar technology in autonomous vehicles it has developed in collaboration with its partners, including Local Motors' 'Olli' passenger shuttle.

Roush Industries will support Perrone Robotics in marketing 'TONY' for a range of applications and help them to shorten production lead times and fasttrack delivery cycles.

The driver-in autonomous shuttle, nicknamed 'The Badger', will be used for research purposes on public and private roads in Racine, Wisconsin.

Local Motors' next-generation Olli Autonomous Shuttle, which will enter production in autumn, will employ Perrone Robotics' TONY autonomous driving technology.

The two companies will incorporate Perrone Robotics' TONY autonomous drive technology into Tropos Motors' ABLE line of utility vehicles.
