Shared, electrical and autonomous – these three mobility revolutions have turned out to be really hard work, but that does not mean that we stop working. On the contrary, it urges us to work even harder to be successful. The plans of the vehicle manufacturer might have been delayed a little, but that was our chance to direct the framework conditions for the future mobility and the role of the municipalities and public transport into the right channels and to assure our position. Recent bulletins from the developers of sets for autonomous driving makes it clear: The time has come to include autonomous vehicles into the strategy and to consider them by the urban and rural development so that we do not get “stuck in a driverless traffic jam”.
At the 5th VDV Congress on Future Autonomous Driving within Public Transport the current adaptations of the legal framework as a basis for future measures to make politics, companies and municipalities fit for the future will be presented.
SHOW will be presented on 19 May by Dr. Henriette Cornet, CCAM Senior Manager, UITP.
