Companies such as Renault and Benteler continue to invest in and advance automated transportation projects, aiming to fill the gaps in urban public transportation and meet market demand. Renault is involved in the "Mach2" project, planning to introduce automated electric minibuses, while Benteler has secured investment and plans to mass-produce autonomous shuttles. However, ZF and Continental have abandoned their respective shuttle plans due to high initial investment costs, shifting their focus to providing and optimizing autonomous driving technologies. This reflects the European market for autonomous transportation systems, where there are both bold explorers and participants adjusting their strategies due to cost considerations.
