          This is NAVLY. NAVLY is a battery electric vehicle that makes a small trail around the Confluences Mall to pick up to eight passengers and gradually take them along its route. It moves at a moderate pace- slightly more rapid than walking. Inside the vehicle, you can see a man in a white polo. He is hold a tablet to ensure NAVLY is behaving correctly and continuing on the right path, as it is still in BETA/ not quite ready to carry about its days alone.

          NAVLY is able to know where it's going primarily through GPS. It follows along a designated path each day, and recalibrate its position through use of an antenna on its roof and also on the roof the mall. When a pedestrian approaches too close to NAVLY, it emits a ringing bell sound and stops until it determines the path is clear. It has particularly aggressive braking due to its hydraulic brakes, however, safety for everyone is important. NAVLY can also be seen in the USA in Las Vegas.
