According to the International Energy Agency, cars emit between 57 and 322 gCO2-eq/pkm—compared to buses at just 22-92 gCO2-eq/pkm, and trains at 6-118 gCO2-eq/pkm. That metric meaning “grams of carbon dioxide-equivalent per passenger-kilometer”. They are also just massively safer to ride.

So driverless busses would probably be a better outcome than driverless taxis. Does a driverless electric bus fall under "any bus"? This group targets individual transport systems like robotaxis, and similar developments in the field of public transit would probably not be targeted by this group as such.
