Berlin Senate aims to have autonomous shuttles in the city by mid-2027
The Berlin Senate wants to bring autonomous buses into the city center. Transport Senator Ute Bonde (CDU) is confident that this can be achieved by mid-2027, the Senate Administration announced upon request.
"We are in close communication on this topic with Hamburg as well as with the federal government," it continued.
Previously, the "Tagesspiegel" reported. Autonomous driving is one of the transportation projects where Berlin and Hamburg plan to cooperate more closely in the future. In the Hanseatic city, the autonomous buses are expected to be operating in the city center as early as the middle of next year.
In Berlin, there have already been several pilot projects, including on two campus areas of the Berlin Charité. Between 2019 and 2022, driverless minibuses were also on a trial run in Berlin-Tegel. The goal of the Senate Administration is to make autonomous driving legally possible in Berlin as quickly as possible, emphasized the Senate Administration.
