What happens when cities can no longer find enough people to drive their buses? In the first Move Monday episode, recorded live at MOVE 2026, Jacqui is joined by Eran Ofir, CEO of Imagry, to discuss why autonomous buses could become one of the most important mobility innovations of the next decade. While much of the autonomous driving conversation focuses on robotaxis, Eran explains why public transport faces a more immediate challenge: a growing shortage of commercial drivers. From Japan's retirement crisis to underserved rural communities, autonomous buses could help maintain and expand vital transport services.
The conversation explores why autonomous buses are gaining momentum globally,how mapless AI-powered driving works and why public acceptance may be a bigger challenge than the technology itself.
