A Study on Implementing Autonomous Intra City Public Transport System in Developing Countries - India

The rise of autonomous vehicles (AV) will revolutionize the transportation industry and it will transform the society itself, much like the nineteenth century shift from horse-carriages to automobiles. The automobile industry as well as governments/authorities all around the world are trying to create vehicles and road traffic infrastructures to support this futuristic public/private transportation technology. In our paper we are putting forward a feasible method of implementing the autonomous vehicular technology in a developing country like India as a public transport system in itself or as a feeder system to public transport systems like metro by using the concepts of safe state and kill switch.
