This chapter looks at advances in automated vehicle (AV) technology, focusing on the central role of AVs in revolutionizing public transport as part of the AVENUE project. It traces the path of AV development, highlighting NAVYA’s pioneering contributions and the significant technological advances that have been achieved. The chapter describes the evolution of NAVYA technology and the disruption of the transport ecosystem during the ambitious goals of the AVENUE project. The project’s mission to integrate automated minibuses into the public transport ecosystem is critically analyzed, highlighting operational innovations, the integration of on-demand door-to-door services, and the comprehensive management of an AV ecosystem. Technology, legal, and regulatory challenges and continuous improvements in AV software and hardware are discussed, emphasizing NAVYA’s influential position in the European AV landscape. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the implications of the AVENUE project for future technological directions, emphasizing the wider implications for automated mobility and the need to navigate the complex interplay of innovation, regulation, and public acceptance.
