ÖBB, the Austrian Federal Railways, has announced that it will test a fully automated electric bus, which is expected to operate on Austrian roads in the near future. This development has been reported by both Die Presse and Kleine Zeitung.

The introduction of this technology aims to make public transport more cost-effective in regions with poor connectivity. The tests represent a step towards automated mobility that could potentially improve access to public transport in less frequented areas.
