Auro Robotics makes self-driving shuttles for in-campus travel. They're in the Summer 2015 batch of YC. Their electric shuttles reduce operating costs by 40-60% and are safe (they automatically stop if a pedestrian or vehicle crosses in front of them). One is live at Santa Clara University now.

I met the team yesterday at YC demo day and really liked them and the product is pretty cool as well. I think there is a possibility to monetize through licensing as well. Great job guys!

Interesting. Could be a useful tool for getting disabled students around campus. The DisGo cart service at Stanford is particularly understaffed (https://oae.stanford.edu/disgo-c...). I'd be curious how well it recognizes stop signs and navigates twisty/odd campus pathways though.
