Daimler Buses presents the Mercedes-Benz Future Bus, the first autonomously driving city bus operating in a real-life traffic situation

The world’s biggest bus manufacturer, Daimler Buses, is systematically extending its technological leadership. The Mercedes-Benz Future Bus with CityPilot has driven autonomously for the first time on a route of approximately 20 kilometers in Amsterdam.



On a section of the longest bus rapid transit (BRT) line in Europe, the bus drives at speeds up to 70 km/h, stops to the nearest centimeter at bus stops and traffic lights, drives off again automatically, passes through tunnels, brakes for obstacles or pedestrians and communicates with traffic signals. Daimler Buses is the world’s first manufacturer to put a city bus into automated operation in a real-life traffic situation.
