How can robotaxis and autonomous shuttles improve future mobility, particularly in rural areas?

The latest article in the Westfalenpost,“Why Robo-Taxis Haven’t Taken Off in Rural Areas Yet” ( 
), addresses this question. 

In the article, Prof. Torsten Bertram assesses the current state of autonomous driving in Germany. 
It becomes clear that Germany possesses strong expertise in research, development, and regulation. 
The challenge now lies in successfully transitioning innovative technologies into routine operation and further building social acceptance.
