By Shihao Fu, technology analyst at IDTechEx
Autonomous buses represent one of the most challenging platforms in the autonomous driving industry. In recent years, commercial interest has shifted towards roboshuttles and robotaxis, partly due to the complex operational design domains (ODD) of autonomous buses.
The typical ODD for a bus requires interactions with a broad range of road users, including more pedestrians, cyclists, bus stops, passengers, and surrounding vehicles.
The larger size of these buses, coupled with their intricate ODD, presents challenges similar to those faced by roboshuttles.
