In August 2020, Tallinn Transport Department in cooperation with Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and TalTech is organizing a two-day event The Future of Autonomous Transport in the Baltic Sea Region<\/strong> in Tallinn, consisting of a public exhibition in Kadriorg Park on August 26 and a high-level conference at Proto Invention Factory on August 27.<\/p>\n Cities and regions of the Baltic Sea region have for the last three years gained knowledge and competence on organizing environmentally friendly and smart automated public transport under the project Sohjoa Baltic:<\/p>\n Project aimed to support the public transport chains\u2019 last mile connectivity and cities development towards more carbon neutral mobility.<\/p>\n Tallinners have already had the opportunity to get acquainted with self-driving buses several times. During the Estonian presidency of the Council of the European Union, a self-driving bus for participants ran between Kultuurikatel and Mere puiestee. In the summer of 2019, the pilot of the Sohjoa Baltic project started in Kadriorg Park, where Navya’s self-driving bus traveled along Weizenberg Street to KUMU. From mid-June 2020, the bus operates again in Kadriorg Park.<\/p>\n When will the autonomous vehicles become common goods in public transport? Who they will serve and create value to? We all play a role in shaping up the future.
