The big idea
School bus drivers don't just drive — they figure out the best routes, the safest stops, and the right times. AI helps by checking traffic, weather, and which kids got picked up so no one is missed.
Some examples
- AI suggests faster routes when there's a wreck
- AI sends parents an alert when the bus is close
- AI tracks which kids got on
- The driver still calls the shots
Try it!
Next time you ride a bus, count the stops. Now imagine planning a route — what would AI help with?
