Autonomous Systems at IT-TRANS

Autonomous Systems at IT-TRANS 2026

Karlsruhe, Germany – 19 February 2026

Autonomous Systems develops depot-first autonomy for city buses, helping public transport operators automate low-speed depot movements such as parking, staging, and dispatch preparation. Our SmartDEPOT™ approach introduces autonomy in a controlled environment, enabling measurable improvements in safety, depot throughput, and operational efficiency. At IT-TRANS 2026, Co-CEO Jan Gramatyka will share the “Depot-first autonomy for European smartbuses” pathway and practical lessons for operator-ready deployment and scaling. Autonomous Systems is also a finalist of the Future Mobility Award 2026, reflecting the industry relevance of its operator-first approach.
