The Federal Motor Transport Authority envisions a transformative shift towards autonomous public transport, with driverless buses expected to operate in German cities by 2026/2027. While autonomous trucks are already in use in the USA, the introduction of Robo-buses is anticipated to require significant investment.
Nevertheless, their operational flexibility presents a compelling advantage. Legal reforms are underway to eliminate regulatory burdens, such as monitoring driving and rest times, to stimulate investment in this technology.
Pilot projects, like the self-driving shuttles during Munich's Oktoberfest, illustrate the potential for widespread acceptance. As manufacturers like Mercedes and BMW lead in developing advanced vehicles, the integration of innovative systems will further enhance the autonomous driving landscape in the coming decade.
