As part of the European project SHOW (GA No 875530), 3 types of innovative automated vehicles, i.e., a U-Shift, a modular vehicle with an interchangeable capsule, a free-moving FZI-shuttle and a VIF-robotaxi, were deployed at 3 sites in Germany and Austria. Two of the vehicles provided both passenger and cargo transport services. The piloting period varied from 7 to 13 months. In total, all automated vehicles travelled 30,000 km and transported 14,000 people. No critical failures occurred. Passengers’ enthusiasm and high acceptance of AVs are noteworthy. Further technical challenges still need to be addressed, particularly regarding interaction with other road users, to achieve fully automated operation.
