The most sustainable way to incorporate self-driving vehicles into our transportation system is to combine them with high capacity public transport. Unlike other forms of self-driving vehicles, in recent years self-driving shuttles have been tested to provide shorter transportation services. In a near future these shuttles could serve as feeders to and from stations, which will increase accessibility to public transport for more people. A first aim of this study was to examine the conditions for future development and use of self-driving shuttles as a complement to public transport in Sweden. The theoretical framework Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) was used in order to analyze the development. A second aim of this study was to examine whether TIS is appropriate for answering the first aim. Qualitative interviews were conducted with representatives from actor groups that were considered important for the development. The thesis suggest that the development is in a demonstration phase. The pilot tests with self-driving shuttles have played an important role in order to coordinate actors and create networks for knowledge diffusion. Identified blocking mechanism found are the complicated process of obtaining permission for conducting tests and uncertainties around technology development and use. In order to reach a niche market phase and commercialization the study suggest a continued support for more pilot tests and simplification of the permission process.

¡@¡@Crushing the whole world in 2008, Global financial crisis caused a loss to Taiwan DRAM industry up to hundred billion dollar, which forced government and entrepreneur confront the problem of shortage of R&D. In order to improve the competitiveness of DRAM industry, Ministry of Economic Affairs set up TIMC. However, the corporation ended at the end of 2009 due to rejected by the Legislative Department. The problem still needs to be solved, so we will focus on how to improve this problem and use financial data of several main DRAM companies to analyze them by five categories, like production and investment capacity, asset use efficiency, earning capacity, financial flexibility and innovative capacity, etc. From analysis results we get the following problems: 1. Huge capital expenditure but competitiveness still weaken. 2. Single product portfolio couldn¡¦t help improve business cycle so that make insufficient capacity utilization. 3. Deteriorating financial situation and insufficient fund. 4. Lack of innovation ability, domestic industry has to rely on foreign technique authorization. In general, scattered resources, lack of autonomous technology and narrow product range are the key problems. We think integration sources and focused investment can avoid wasting funds. Besides, product diversification can offset the risk of gross margin decline and reduce business cycle fluctuations on gross margin. And developing autonomous technology can reduce using current OEM business model. Furthermore, this essay will propose a three-step scheme to DRAM industry for reference.
