Autonomous vehicles provide cities and municipalities with an enticing opportunity to develop mobility services. They complement conventional public transport and already offer “last-mile” solutions in several Finnish cities.

Autonomous vehicles can increase operational efficiency, reduce emissions, enhance logistics and promote the safe movement of people and goods. Autonomous vehicles are a flexible part of the new mobility infrastructure of industry, commerce and campuses.

The routes, stops and timetables of robot buses can be planned flexibly, which improves the accessibility of service transport to the aged and people with reduced mobility, among others. Service is also improved when drivers can be released for service tasks.
