Autonomous buses are starting to make their way into urban landscapes, paving the way for smarter and safer cities. They are primarily designed for first and last-mile connectivity and short routes and won't replace individual traffic or major public transport providers soon. But they have great potential to revolutionize urban mobility.
Imagine riding on one of these buses - do you feel safe? In the face of an incident, who would you reach out to? Currently, larger autonomous buses retain attendants for passenger reassurance and immediate problem assistance. Despite impressive technical advances, machine-controlled vehicles can be unsettling.
We believe that autonomous driving vehicles require autonomous passenger support!
