The briefing under subsection
(a)shall include analysis of the following: The effectiveness of current or past demonstration projects of electric autonomous shuttles on military installations. The impact that reliable, energy-efficient shuttles could have on quality of life, base operating costs, and traffic patterns. How best to leverage existing commercially available shuttles to satisfy this function. How and where the Department would best employ the shuttles to maximize fixed route or on-demand autonomous shuttle service for military installations serving the first and last mile transportation needs of personnel and logistical missions. What type of data could be gathered from the shuttles to assist in the expansion of electric autonomous vehicle use in other military contexts.
