The Shared Autonomous Vehicle project in Oslo is a pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing urban mobility through the integration of self-driving vehicles into the public transport network. The project has deployed autonomous vehicles (SAVs) in Groruddalen, a district in Oslo, to serve as a complementary transit option alongside existing public transportation. These SAVs are designed to fill the gaps in the mass transit network, providing on-demand services and addressing the first/last mile challenge for commuters. It is a part of a broader effort to make mobility more accessible and inclusive for all residents. 

Managed by Ruter, the public transport authority, the project features shuttles with SAE level 4 autonomy, capable of navigating 560 kilometers of road without human intervention. This initiative not only represents a significant step towards a more connected and efficient public transport system but also showcases the potential of AI to revolutionize urban transportation.

Join us to listen to Lars Gunnar, who leads the project.
