Driver-less Bus Goes on Trial

Driver-less bus trials have began in Australia.

Now you don’t have to put up with drunk or reckless drivers anymore.

Newsmakers learnt from Venkatraman Venkitachalam, Director at EFENP Automation P Ltd that the 11-seater prototype vehicle has gone into service transporting passengers along the 2.7km promenade in South Perth, travelling at speeds of up to 15.5mph. According to a newspaper The Australian, the fully-electric shuttle bus has 6 Light Detection and Ranging sensors, four 3D imaging cameras and a GPS system that allows it to pinpoint exactly where it is, as well as how far it has traveled based on its starting point.

Venkitachalam made reference to The RAC Intellibus, Royal Automobile Club in his post.
