The tinted glass doors on the cozy electric shuttle slid open quietly. 

"Welcome aboard," said Aaron Foster, a solutions engineer for Navya, the French maker of the 15-passenger, battery-powered vehicle that attracted a curious crowd in Lake Nona eager for a quarter-mile ride on the ballyhooed bus expected to be running this spring in south-east Orlando.
