The often-overlooked logistics of city bus depots are getting a high-tech upgrade from Autonomous Systems, which has raised $125K in seed funding.
The company's SmartDEPOT™ technology enables electric buses to navigate autonomously within depots, handling tasks such as parking, charging, and washing without a driver. This system combines LIDAR-based 3D perception and mission-level control software to deliver full autonomy for low-speed maneuvers. Autonomous Systems takes a pragmatic approach, focusing autonomy where it's possible now to deliver measurable operational gains for public transport operators, from reduced congestion to higher fleet availability.
