Smart mobility is a vital part of a smart city. Autonomous public transport buses are becoming an increasingly noticeable and significant component of smart mobility. This study examines and compares trials of autonomous public transport buses in Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). This research covers the period from 2017 to 2024 and is based on qualitative research methods: case studies, secondary source analysis, conventional content analysis, and comparative analysis. This study found that Estonia was the first among the Baltic countries to begin testing autonomous public transport buses and was the most active, conducting as many as 11 trials. Moreover, Estonia tested autonomous buses at the highest speeds and over the longest distances.
