"The bus is fitted with a sensor suite comprising five LiDAR units, six radar systems, eight cameras, and a GNSS module, supporting environmental perception and vehicle positioning required for automated operation."
"Data collected during this phase is being used to calibrate system performance and refine operational parameters, focusing on validating automated driving functions in controlled environments."
"The automated bus is scheduled to operate on public roads in Munich without passengers as part of a final validation stage, preceding a pilot operation phase planned by Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft."
MAN Truck & Bus has integrated an Automated Driving System into its Lion's City 12 E electric bus as part of the MINGA research project. The bus features a comprehensive sensor suite for environmental perception and vehicle positioning. Initial tests are being conducted at MAN facilities, focusing on specific driving scenarios. Following on-site testing, the bus will operate on public roads in Munich without passengers. A pilot phase will begin in autumn 2026, with a safety driver supervising the automated functions.
