Published October 12, 2026

CharterUP Founder and CEO Armir Harris joined The Driverless Digest Podcast to discuss the company’s approach to autonomous mobility, upcoming shuttle deployments, and how CharterUP’s existing network and technology position it to help bring autonomous shuttles into the mainstream.



Hosted by industry thought leader Harry Campbell, the conversation explores how CharterUP is preparing to integrate autonomous shuttles into its network, building on a technology platform that spans more than 10,000 vehicles across 900+ hubs nationwide.

The opportunity extends far beyond the vehicles themselves. CharterUP’s nationwide network of transportation providers, extensive trip and routing data, and established base of enterprise customers provide a strong foundation for integrating autonomous shuttles into real-world transportation programs. These existing data points will help inform vehicle sourcing, optimize routing and vehicle deployment, and connect emerging autonomous technologies with existing customer demand.

Armir discusses CharterUP’s origins, key enterprise use cases, and the path toward autonomous adoption across its network. The conversation also covers CharterUP’s partnerships with Autonomous vehicle OEMs, the potential of purpose-built autonomous shuttles, and how these vehicles could complement robotaxis and traditional transit.

As autonomous technology advances, CharterUP is focused on connecting vehicle innovation with the infrastructure, operational expertise, and customer demand needed to bring these solutions to market.
