🚨 Brandenburg führt Gespräche mit Tesla über autonome Shuttles! Brandenburgs Verkehrsminister Robert Crumbach (SPD) bestätigt, dass sein Ministerium aktuell mit Tesla über fahrerlose Fahrzeuge spricht. Die Idee: Autonome Shuttles sollen perspektivisch in das bestehende Rufbus-System integriert werden – insbesondere im ländlichen Raum. Crumbach nennt ein konkretes Problem: In manchen Regionen fährt ein normaler Bus aufgrund geringer Nachfrage gar nicht oder nur zweimal am Tag. Gleichzeitig fehlt es an Fahrern. Und Crumbach geht noch weiter: ✅ Sobald die rechtlichen Zulassungen und Genehmigungen vorliegen, könne er sich einen flächendeckenden Einsatz autonomer Shuttles im ländlichen Brandenburg sehr gut vorstellen. Noch ist kein Tesla-Pilot beschlossen – aber dass ein deutsches Verkehrsministerium bereits direkt mit Tesla über einen solchen Einsatz spricht, finde ich extrem spannend. #Tesla #AutonomeFahrzeuge #Verkehrspolitik
