I've been in Hamburg and found these mini-bus. They are kind of passenger vans, but with specific interiors for easy operations for a bus-like usability. They are autonomous, but with a driver for test-legal-security reasons. Routes are on demand, not fixed. So it's like the Carriot service (long time ago, when web 2.0 was a thing) but now aiming for self driving. Interesting, among other things, is that it's a Volkswagen company, but a totally new brand and the busses-vans have no VW brand nor exterior design, they are full new designed vehicles.
