Autonomous vehicles will be hitting the road in large numbers in the coming years, so the AGV Bus Concept identifies what we could see when it comes to public transportation. The bus boasts a completely autonomous design that is capable of operating without any human input thanks to a series of sensors that work with the vehicle's sensors and GPS. The vehicle follows a magnetic tracking or marking that could be implemented onto roads easily to incorporate the buses into the existing infrastructure without extensive work.
The AGV Bus Concept also features a modular design that could be used for augmenting it into a multipurpose vehicle for shipping purposes. This would come in hand for getting supplies and shipments around an urban environment without having to dedicate drivers to the task.
