PAVE Europe: Scaling Autonomous Driving in Hamburg

In this episode of the PAVECast, we embark on a glimpse into Hamburg's future of transportation. By 2030, Hamburg aims to introduce 10,000 autonomous shuttles as part of a modern on-demand transport service that supplements the classic public bus and rail transport system with a new product and represents an attractive alternative to private cars. The shuttles, bookable via an app, provide a safe and scalable solution, addressing urban and rural mobility needs.
You'll learn how this ambitious project sets the stage for a transformative, sustainable, and inclusive future of urban mobility in Hamburg.
