Autonomous Public Transport with James Dick of RATP

Autonomous public transport has the potential to transform our cities.

Suburbs that are not currently served by public transport could be cost-effectively connected for the first time, while conventional bus routes could be expanded.

One city that is taking the lead in experimenting with autonomous public transport is Paris, under the leadership of James Dick at RATP.

In today’s episode, he tells me just how close he believes they are to delivering autonomous buses out on the road, driverless and at scale.

It’s a great conversation with a transport leader passionate about the future and making sure that our sector meets it head-on and with positivity.

Enjoy!
