A research team at the Technical University of Munich has developed a new early warning system for autonomous vehicles that uses artificial intelligence to warn the driver when it foresees a situation that the system will not be able to handle on its own.

The French Metropolis of Toulouse has recently green-lit the start of a trial for an autonomous electric shuttle on the open road.

An autonomous electric bus has begun operation as part of a trial launched in Malaga.

Projects that will test-run smart city solutions for the 2nd edition of the “Smart Pamplona Lab” programme have now been selected.

January 2021 saw the launch of a new autonomous public transport service in Gothenburg. It concerns a trial involving autonomous electric shuttles, which carry eight passengers along a 1.8km route in the Swedish city.

The service, which is integrated in the public transport network, will serve the Lindholmen Industrial and Science park – a 4km squared former shipyard that now features offices, residential and university buildings and parking lots. The service will operate during office hours from Monday to Friday during a four-and-a-half-month period.
