Step into the future of transportation with Siri Vassau from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration as we uncover the ambitious blueprint shaping Norway's journey toward autonomous vehicles. Discover how this innovative national strategy, led by Siri, is not only paving the way for road transport but also setting the stage for integrating air and sea travel. Our discussion sheds light on the thoughtful balance needed between technological advancements and societal needs, highlighting efforts to enhance mobility for all, including individuals with impairments while addressing urban-rural dynamics and exploring the role of shared mobility. Join us as we unveil the collaborative spirit that drives this forward-thinking strategy, designed to reduce car dependency and incorporate public transport, private mobility, logistics, goods transport, and emergency services.
As our conversation deepens, we tackle the formidable challenges and responsibilities that come with the rise of autonomous transport. We confront the vulnerabilities of increased digitalization, such as centralized control and the potential impact of international tensions on vehicle operations. With a critical eye, we compare road safety benchmarks across Norway, the US, and China, while stressing the importance of human adaptability and the infrastructural developments required for a seamless transition to autonomy. Engage with us and Siri as we explore how Norway prepares its roads and sets high safety standards in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, ensuring that the promise of autonomous transport is realized responsibly and safely. -

The Shared Autonomous Vehicle project in Oslo is a pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing urban mobility through the integration of self-driving vehicles into the public transport network. The project has deployed autonomous vehicles (SAVs) in Groruddalen, a district in Oslo, to serve as a complementary transit option alongside existing public transportation. These SAVs are designed to fill the gaps in the mass transit network, providing on-demand services and addressing the first/last mile challenge for commuters. It is a part of a broader effort to make mobility more accessible and inclusive for all residents.
Managed by Ruter, the public transport authority, the project features shuttles with SAE level 4 autonomy, capable of navigating 560 kilometers of road without human intervention. This initiative not only represents a significant step towards a more connected and efficient public transport system but also showcases the potential of AI to revolutionize urban transportation.
Join us to listen to Lars Gunnar, who leads the project.
