abstract = {The implementation of autonomous vehicles in cities is the future that is now and will change the urban landscape, although it is associated with a number of ethical, social, technical, and economic dilemmas. Additionally, the problem of designing and transforming public spaces with the application of AV is a huge challenge for contemporary urban planning. The following will change: mobility, transport accessibility, space functionality, places for recreation or using micromobility. Conscious identification of significant changes in the city related to the implementation of AV and preparation for the redesign of a part of the city infrastructure provides greater opportunities for the safe coexistence of AV, normal vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. An attempt was made to identify important research aspects and international trends in urban transformation in the context of the application of AV. The aim of this research is to determine what the main areas of impact of the introduction of AVs in urban transformation are. The types of autonomous vehicles dedicated to public transport were identified as well as the general characteristics of the solutions implemented around the world. The above research can be used to create a design, and then test and implement the above activities related to the safe use of the areas served by AV, taking into account the new civilization needs. Research will have an implementation value and may form the basis for further considerations on the impact of AV on the urban transformation of the city.},
