Abstract
An autonomous urban transport vehicle (AUTV) to transport a user, including a tricycle including brakes and steering and a controller. The controller includes an autonomous mode processor to control the brakes and steering when the AUTV is in an autonomous mode. The controller also includes a manual mode processor to control manual mode functions of the AUTV when the AUTV is in a manual mode. The manual mode functions are exclusive of actuation of the brakes and steering.
