Taiwan’s first driverless bus will hit the road on Wednesday. That’s the word from the Automotive Research and Testing Center under the economics ministry.
The bus will take passengers from one tourism factory to another inside an industrial park in Lukang, a town on the west coast of Taiwan.
All of the vehicle’s parts are made in Taiwan. The bus maneuvers by way of optical radars and sensors. It automatically stops at red lights and will slow down or change lanes as it detects road conditions. The technology on the driverless bus is said to be in the same class as that of the electric car Tesla.
