Disclosed is an autonomous bicycle system including a navigation system, a steering system, a pedal assist system providing extra propulsion when engaged, and provides a combination of internal and external sensors, cameras for detecting threats and obstacles in an environment. Respectively the autonomous bicycle can be controlled manually or controlled remotely by a control network alternatively in real-time to switch from a manual driving state to an autonomous driving state or vice versa in respect to mechanical motion involving steering, velocity and position and maintaining balance support of autonomous bicycle when in motion or when stationary. A control network providing a virtual operator systematically controlling a current position of the autonomous bicycle in real-time based on at least one rider-selected starting location and destination location, and a smartphone connected therein providing an APP linking the rider to use the autonomous bicycle for various rider plans, control network plans or service plans.
