The vision of autonomous vehicles has long been reality at the BVG. As part of its ‘STIMULATE’ pilot project starting in 2018, the BVG for the first time deployed driverless vehicles (with on-board attendants) on two campus grounds of the Charité hospital in Berlin. Just one year later, we went a step further and ventured out onto the city’s actual streets: from August 2019 to January 2020, a driverless minibus shuttled between the final stop of the U6 underground line and the lakeside promenade of the Tegeler See on the ‘See-Meile’ route. This project was the first time that the use of a highly automated vehicle was tested on a public street in Berlin. Following consistently positive feedback, the area was again served by a total of three highly automated minibuses in a follow-up project from June 2021 to June 2022. In addition, a new line was established, which also served Tegel S-Bahn station.

In another first, it involves planning the deployment and monitoring of fully automated driverless vehicle operations from a control centre. The study is being conducted at Urban Tech Republic on the site of the former Tegel airport.
