Autonomous buses: Challenges and opportunities in 2024

by

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.

Economy in transition: Challenges and opportunities for European industry in 2024

by

Looking ahead to 2024: a year full of challenges for the European economy, but also lucrative opportunities. How companies can master the wave of change and discover new opportunities for growth and efficiency with clever digitalisation and automation as well as the smart use of used machinery.

In 2023, the European economy was heavily impacted by external challenges such as high energy prices, inflation and the ongoing effects of global tensions. These factors led to general uncertainty and a dampened willingness to invest. The wood and metal market, central to many industries, was particularly affected by the price explosion.

In 2024, companies will continue to be confronted with the effects of global political tensions, which are reflected in economic uncertainties. The availability and cost of supplies and market stability will also suffer. [Read more…] about Economy in transition: Challenges and opportunities for European industry in 2024
