Autonomous Public Transport 2026 – AI-driven self-driving buses, shuttles और smart city traffic management से urban mobility का भविष्य।
2026 में AI ने Public Transport बदल दिया

Smart cities की planning अब सिर्फ roads और buildings तक सीमित नहीं रही।
2026 में Autonomous Public Transport यानी self-driving buses, shuttles और metro systems लोगों की daily commute का fast, safe और eco-friendly हिस्सा बन रहे हैं।
AI और IoT integration से traffic congestion, fuel consumption और accidents में significant reduction हुआ है।
🧠 कैसे काम करते हैं Autonomous Transit Systems?

- Sensors & LIDAR: Vehicles अपने surroundings detect करते हैं
- AI Algorithms: Traffic, obstacles और passenger patterns analyze करते हैं
- Real-Time Decision Making: Speed, route और stop selection dynamically adjust होते हैं
- Connectivity: IoT और 5G networks से vehicles centrally managed
📈 Result: Smart cities में mobility अब seamless, efficient और eco-conscious हो गई है।
