Self-driving vehicle pulled over by curious police officer (May 15th , 2019)
28-Jun-19
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A self-driving shuttle got pulled over by police on its first day carrying passengers on a new Rhode Island route. Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements said an officer pulled over the odd-looking autonomous vehicle because he had never seen one before.

Key Presentation Take-Aways
• Driverless technology is maturing fast but there is still a long road ahead of us
• The car industry is paving the way for Public Transport
• Promise of reduced TCO while increasing accessibility, safety and security
• Use Cases in controlled contexts and/or well-matched business models will come first
• MaaS will change the automobile and public transport landscapes
More than 33 million AVs will be sold in 2040, a substantial increase from the 51,000 units forecast in 2021

China robocars are in the slow lane (Zhang writes for Bloomberg)
• The U.S. is ahead right now but China will soon make significant strides and by 2030 it will be a different game.
• In the U.S. 41 states support autonomous-vehicle testing. The leaders include California, Arizona and Florida. That compares with just 14 Chinese cities allowing testing on public roads.
• Waymo deploys robotaxis in Phoenix, Uber Technologies Inc. has spent more than $1 billion without clear plans to launch a service, and Elon Musk recently said Tesla technology would lead to 1 million self-driving vehicles on the road.
• California had issued testing permits to 63 companies as of February 2019. They include Tesla, Volkswagen, Toyota Motor Corp. — and 15 China-based testers.
• Baidu, long labeled the Google of China, is developing the equivalent of an Android operating system for AVs. The Apollo platform has about 130 members — including Volkswagen, Ford Motor Co., BYD Co. and Microsoft Corp. https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=8ac279ea-cd1d-49da-8d1e-45909a8e81dd
Integrated Mobility As A Service (MaaS)
Autonomous Trains Headlines
• SNCF targets autonomous trains in five years (Railway Gazette, Sep 13, 2018): SNCF expects to see ‘semi-autonomous’ trains running on the French rail network by 2020 and fully automatic trains within five years, following the establishment of two consortia of suppliers to develop and implement the technology.
Autonomous Trains Headlines
• Jan 3, 2019, Digital Trends - “ This is a world first” a spokesperson for Rio Tinto told. “It is the first fully autonomous, long-distance, heavy-haul rail network in the world. The successful deployment is the culmination of a $940 million project and has the potential to transform the productivity and flexibility of the 1,700-kilometer network between our 16 iron ore mines and to ports.”
Autonomous Trains Headlines
• The Independent, 3 January 2019 – China will introduce the world’s first driverless trains to run at speeds of up to 350kph on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway line. The automatic operation bullet trains were trialled on a section of the Beijing-Shenyang line in 2018 by the China Railway Corporation (CRC) and the system passed all safety tests.
• WordPress - The European rail champion DB is currently transforming a section of several kilometers near Chemnitz into an trial site for autonomous train. DB Regio, a subsidiary of the DB, has upgraded a self-propelled train, with cameras and sensors in its Chemnitz workshop. The system must detect obstacles and stop the train if problems.
Autonomous Trains Headlines
• Siemens Mobility presented the world’s first autonomous tram research project in the world's at InnoTrans 2018. On a six-kilometer section of the tram network in Potsdam, Siemens Mobility demonstrated a test tram driving autonomously in real traffic.
Like AV technology, City efforts are at an early stage (Source: Bloomberg Aspen Initiative)
The “last mile” is low-hanging fruit - The most common anticipated role for AVs is bridging existing gaps at the edges of transit systems, a crucial link that planners call the “last mile.”
Cities still have big barriers to overcome - Cities told us they are struggling to find the human and financial capacity to deliver more projects—and the right actions are not yet clear or urgent enough.

The Future of AV in Public Transport?
• Automated Shuttles & Robo-taxis
• Use of AV car technology in Buses running on dedicated lanes and Light Rail systems
• Optimized journeys using best matched modes of transportation including Robo-taxi and Ride hailing services (shorter trip times)
• New driverless trains paradigm shift - Reduced infrastructure
• Integrated MaaS
• Safer and more secure transportation systems (less accidents)
