Abstract
The rapid development of intelligent control techniques has brought changes to the automotive industry and led to the development of autonomous or self-driving vehicles. This paper presents self-driving autonomous vehicle (AV) shuttles in the smart city context and discusses different aspects necessary to consider when deploying AV shuttles. The smart city testbed is described where one of the key units is a self-driving last-mile shuttle bus named ISEAUTO. The objective of the ISEAUTO project is to establish a smart city testbed on the university campus where different types of experiments about future urban mobility can be studied. Vehicle and pedestrian safety is experienced as a key safety issue in the paper.
