Although the autonomous shuttle industry has made notable technological strides in recent years, the rollout of these vehicles remains largely restricted to controlled environments such as airports, university campuses, large industrial parks, and gated communities.
These closed-loop settings reduce the complexity of real-world driving and offer safer testbeds for autonomy.
Some autonomous shuttles are being piloted on public roads, but only under strict regulatory conditions imposed by local or national governments. These operations typically require trained safety drivers on board, geo-fencing, and constant remote monitoring. [Read more…] about Top 25 autonomous shuttle manufacturers in 2025
