The trial in M\u00e1laga is the first involving a city bus of a regular size driving together with other vehicles on public roads.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of the system’s technology, the creators of Automost<\/a><\/em> (Automated driving for dual-mode system transport<\/em>), as the project is called, published<\/a> their plans in a scientific journal three years ago. The Spanish initiative is based on the various findings in the field of automated driving from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology<\/a> (KIT, Germany) and the University of Parma<\/a> (Italy), among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Driverless pilot projects<\/a> have been launched in Europe before, most notably also in the Netherlands. In fact, the first unmanned shuttle bus (8 people) drove around a restricted area in Wageningen five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trial in M\u00e1laga is the first with a normal sized city bus driving on public roads together with other vehicles. Despite the advanced technology, there is still a driver at the wheel to take control if necessary. Spanish law does not allow for driverless vehicles..<\/p>\n\n\n\n The breakthrough in self-driving transport has been a long time coming. This is due to lack of regulation and safety. For example, in 2018, an Uber self-driving car killed a woman who was crossing the street. Trials involving a self-driving shuttle bus also had users complaining about the lack of speed<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fellow townspeople of Picasso can still ride the self-driving bus for free until March 13. After that, the trial will come to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spanish port city of M\u00e1laga gave us Pablo Picasso and now also Europe’s first self-driving city bus.
