Autonomous Shuttles

Three autonomous shuttles will travel in close formation, a first for a U.S. airport.

The first project will debut in Cary, North Carolina, with the four-stop, two-mile route employing an all-electric low-speed autonomous shuttle to provide easy access the 310-acre park in an environmentally friendly manner.

The self-driving on-demand service will get tested in three European cities in Switzerland, Germany, and Norway.

The autonomous mover from the new Benteler vehicle brand, which had its world premiere at CES 2023, combines sustainability, inclusion, comfort, and safety with help from Pininfarina, Mobileye, Cognizant Mobility, and Beep, with a U.S. production start planned for the end of 2025. 

Among the supplier’s big show news was the world premiere of next generation Level 4 autonomous shuttle and a new partnership with Beep on autonomous transport systems for customers in the U.S. and a new multi-domain version of ZF ProAI high-performance computer.

A recent study found that shared automated vehicles could have many benefits for medium-sized cities.

The mission of the company’s rebranded EV Systems unit with partners Pininfarina, Beep, and Mobileye is to develop sustainable, inclusive, reliable, and safe mobility solutions for urban areas worldwide, with the world premiere of its new fully electric autonomous mover at CES 2023.

The new service will run driverless shuttles seven days a week for up to 10 years and will include progress up to Level 4 autonomy.
