Self-driving bus permit revoked after tram crash in Gothenburg

The bus crashed during its first run with passengers on board. No one was injured, but the bus was taken out of service while the accident was investigated.

Now the Swedish Transport Agency has withdrawn the permit for the test project.

We have assessed that the conditions for them to conduct safe experimental activities have not been met and we have therefore revoked the permit, says Magnus Sjönnebring, investigator at the Swedish Transport Agency, to GP.

Per Nyrenius, project manager at Västtrafik, assesses the chances of continuing the project as slim.
