Three key benefits of autonomous buses and shuttles

Hoe Yeen Teck, Head of Autonomous Solutions at ST Engineering, outlines three key benefits of autonomous buses. Enhance connectivityOne of the key goals of the public transportation system is to increase connectivity, including intra-cities and first/last mile commutes. This is where the role of autonomous shuttles will be most beneficial. Besides plying fixed routes, autonomous shuttles also hold the potential for dynamic routing by offering various transport services and applications through the Autonomous Shuttles-as-a-Service (ASaaS) model. The on-demand service can be an optimal mode of transportation in areas that are not traditionally served by public buses to extend the reach of public transportation.
