KBA expects the imminent and widespread deployment of driverless buses
The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) expects an imminent breakthrough in autonomous driving.
```"In 2026, at the latest by 2027, self-driving robo-buses will be operating in the first cities in Germany and transporting passengers," said KBA President Richard Damm to the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung".
Hamburg, for example, could manage to have around 10,000 shuttle buses on the streets by 2030.
"It is expected that in five to ten years there will be widespread use of self-driving buses and trucks that operate entirely without drivers," emphasized Damm.
In the USA, many logistics companies are already focusing on adopting autonomous trucks for long distances and are seeking partners for this purpose. Damm urged the transport companies not to miss the robo-bus trend:
"The acquisition is indeed expensive, but the advantages, the gained flexibility, are enormous."
Not all transport companies have sufficiently considered this yet, but they should pay more attention to these possibilities. The head of the authority appealed to politicians to swiftly further develop the strategy for autonomous driving.
"When there is no driver on board and the computer is in control, there is no longer a need for driving and rest periods, nor the obligation to monitor them," said the KBA President.
Legal adjustments are needed. This would also create incentives for investments that could accelerate the ramp-up.
