The risk for intercity and long distance bus drivers is higher, as they are travelling through areas with little to no traffic. The risk is slightly lower for Urban bus drivers as urban enviroments are much more complex, and they are more likley to service vurnable and older demographics who might need more help and/or are uncomfortable travelling without a driver on board.

Estimates for the arrival of self-driving Cars keep going up and then down.
Also, Winter Driving is still unknown.
The Value and respect of Human labour keeps going down and the Cost of Converting
will be High. Purpose-built Vehicles will need to be built, then they will slowly replace
the existing fleets. Busses last 20 to 30 years.
