The device is equipped with cameras , radar and sensors enabling it to move along pavements while avoiding pedestrians and carry out contactless deliveries . The TMWC demo zone also showcased the Auve Tech micro-shuttle , a vehicle whose small size makes it suitable for highly customised routes . Developed by an Estonian company , it is the first in the world in its category to be equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell engine , one of the most sustainable motorisations , as its exhaust only emits steam . Germany ' s Dashbike has designed a device equipped with micro-cameras and radar to improve cyclists ' safety . The Dashbike is placed under the saddle , automatically measuring the passing distance of the vehicles overtaking the cyclist and storing video sequences that include all the relevant metadata on the manoeuvre . In the event of an accident , the recordings can be used as evidence in court .
