Bertrandt unveils BumbleB autonomous shuttle

Bertrandt unveils BumbleB autonomous shuttle. Engineering firm Bertrandt has unveiled a new autonomous shuttle vehicle, the BumbleB. Produced in partnership with the Bern University of Applied Sciences, the shuttle vehicle is tailored for use in rural areas. Technical details are thin on the ground here, but Bertrandt has outlined the application of the BumbleB. The small, driverless shuttle bus is intended to improve mobility in areas that lack city buses or other ridesharing alternatives, such as rural areas - although the company states that the BumbleB "can fundamentally be deployed anywhere". In a statement, it said: "Small, agile and yet fully suitable for everyday use, BumbleB brings cutting-edge sensors, software, and system intelligence to the streets - without a steering wheel. The vision: mobility for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, simple, affordable, and safe to use". Despite this vision, there's not yet any official information on capacity, range, or accessibility features of the BumbleB; an Instagram trailer however shows that the shuttle has seats at the front and back with a large open area in the middle, presumably for wheelchair access and standing space. Additional imagery shows no space for a cockpit or driver. Alexander Merkel, Head of Electronics & Virtual Testing Solutions at Bertrandt, said: "BumbleB shows that 'software-defined mobility' is a reality and that autonomous vehicles can make a significant contribution to a more environmentally friendly and inclusive society. For us, the current challenging times are exactly the right moment to take this step and demonstrate how passion and engineering excellence can create a new form of mobility." 0 comments. about "Bertrandt unveils BumbleB autonomous shuttle"
