Improving transportation accessibility for the elderly, disabled, and increasing road safety are among the main benefits. However, there are also challenges related to technical safety, legal regulations, and social acceptance. Despite these challenges, the introduction of autonomous minibuses is a step towards a modern and sustainable future for urban transportation in Katowice.
