Autonomous buses in the countryside increase accessibility
The possibilities of living without a car in rural areas in Sweden are small for most people. However, if we can increase rural accessibility while simultaneously reducing car dependence, sustainability and attractiveness will increase, and people without cars are given more opportunities. A collaboration between Ramboll Sweden, RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden), The Swedish Transport Administration and the municipalities of Skellefteå, Eskilstuna, Gotland and Lund will investigate the possibilities of supplementing public transport with self-driving vehicles.
