Glad to see this but I’m more interested in Level 4 buses for public transport. These are starting to pop up around the world, and mean driverless buses can follow fixed routes without drivers. When are we going to see cities served by thousands of these vehicles? That would revolutionize public transport.

I have my doubts that drivers are the bottleneck when it comes to public transportation though

Next city near me in Northern Germany has serious issues finding bus drivers and has been operating on some kind of backup plan due to not having enough drivers available. Drivers are an important bottleneck.
