The technological advance of automated vehicles (AV) is escalating as AVs are expected to have a great potentialto not only cut operation costs but also contribute to the service offered to users. Several pilots and initiatives areplanned in Sweden and especially within the Stockholm metropolitan area. The first is the pilot in Kista plannedby Nobina and involving two vehicles of the type Easy Mile EZ10. Nobina project to run automated bus in Kista,called “Autopiloten” project. SARA1 research project aimed at assessing Kista pilot from behavioural andsystemic perspectives in order to understand the effects and potential of AV:s for shared services. The results ofSARA1 project are important to not only evaluate these pilots from a technical perspective but also to startassessing societal, users and system perspectives Creating knowledge of valuable socio-economic factors intransition to autonomous. In the following we provide, a short description of Kista pilot operations provided byNobina, a state of the art, methods, results, and finally discussion and conclusions.
