Why is Ruter doing this?
Ruter believes self-driving vehicles will play a vital part in the future of mobility. It is our intention to stay on top of technological developments in this area and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. That is why we have started trialing self-driving vehicles as an integrated part of the public transport services in Oslo.
Our pilot project has a threefold purpose:
- We want to introduce self-driving technology to our customers and the Oslo region's traffic environments, affording the general public their first experiences travelling aboard and alongside autonomous vehicles.
- We aim to explore the various roles self-driving vehicles can take on as part of a larger public transport system, and what kind of new mobility services they can enable.
- We intend to develop our own expertise in self-driving technology and prepare our partners, owners and national authorities for the emergence of autonomous transport solutions.
