The article looks at a pilot project to introduce autonomous buses in the GZM Metropolis. Its aim was not only to test autonomous vehicles but also to examine public attitudes towards this form of transport. The research conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Silesia included an analysis of trust, safety, comfort, and emotions experienced by passengers travelling on an autonomous bus compared to traditional means of transport. The results indicate a generally positive attitude among test participants, especially among those interested in new technologies, although they also reveal concerns about the reliability of the system and the issue of legal liability.
