# Autonomous Magnetic Track Buses The AGV Bus Concept Boasts a Driverless Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-08-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bus-concept References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/agv-bus-autonomous-bus-concept-by-vincent-chan/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karsan-automotive). The bus boasts a [completely autonomous design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybercab) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azr-quad-go) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Autonomous Public Transportation:** The implementation of autonomous technology into public transportation, creating a safer and more efficient means of transit. - **Magnetic Tracking Technology:** The application of magnetic tracking technology in transportation, providing an easy way to incorporate autonomous vehicles into existing infrastructure. - **Modular Autonomous Vehicles:** The development of modular autonomous vehicles that could be used for a variety of purposes including transportation and shipping. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** The transportation industry could benefit greatly from incorporating autonomous technology to improve safety and efficiency. - **Logistics:** The logistics industry could benefit from the use of modular autonomous vehicles for faster and more efficient transportation of goods. - **Infrastructure:** The infrastructure industry could benefit from the implementation of magnetic tracking technology to incorporate autonomous vehicles into existing road systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Autonomous Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-buses.md) - [Automated Transit Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-transit-bus.md) - [Transparent Self-Driving EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimo-electric-vehicle.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Interchangeable Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driverless-transportation-system.md) - [Off-Grid Exploration Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gac-van-life-autonomous-vehicle.md) - [Lounge-Like Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-concept-vehicle.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Interactive Autonomous Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robo-a2z-delivery-vehicle.md)
