Autonomous Systems at Transexpo 2026

Gliwice, Poland — 29 September 2026

At TRANSEXPO in Kielce, Poland (14–16 October, hall 9, stand 9-A01), Autonomous Systems will present the Polish edition of its report "The State of Smart Depots 2026". According to the report, depot manoeuvres take on average 25 to 35 minutes per bus per day: driver time that can go back into passenger service as the driver shortage grows.

World Public Transport Day

Gliwice, Poland — 17 April 2026

As cities around the world mark the first World Public Transport Day on 17 April 2026, PKM Gliwice and Autonomous Systems are using the moment to celebrate the people who make public transport happen: drivers — and to highlight a practical form of autonomy that supports them in daily work.

Smartbus Pilot at PKM Gliwice

Gliwice, Poland – 5 December 2025

Autonomous Systems, a technology company founded and operating in Gliwice, has launched the Smartbus Pilot together with PKM Gliwice at the city’s depot. The project brings together local engineering expertise and the experience of a municipal public transport operator, advancing a new category of smartbuses – standard city buses equipped with autonomous driving functions for depot operations.

Giving time back to drivers

Protect reliability by giving time back to drivers — starting with low-speed depot moves that consume capacity every day. Watch the video to see smartbus – the driver’s friend in the depot. 

The ROI of smartbuses

Autonomy in public transport is often discussed as a future end-state. Here’s the practical view: what happens to costs and capacity when you automate the repetitive, non-revenue movements inside the depot. It starts with a simple ROI equation, breaks down the real cost buckets (per bus vs per depot), and shows why fleet scale changes unit economics - a straightforward way to turn “interesting” into “measurable.”

Revolution Evolution in bus autonomy

Autonomous buses won’t arrive via a single leap. This article explains why depot-first autonomy is the practical on-ramp: start in a controlled environment, learn safely in real operations, and build step-by-step readiness for street autonomy without disrupting service.
