Since Deutsche Bahn delivered its 12-person autonomous electric shuttle to a small Bavarian spa route in 2017, the industry has moved on. In April 2023, the Stagecoach-affiliated project CAVForth announced the world’s first autonomous bus fleet for imminent rollout between Edinburgh and Fife. The global robotaxi market earned US$1.71bn in 2022, with a CAGR of 80.8% expected through to 2030, according to Spherical Insights.
