Driverless electric bus to be trialled in Perth

The French-made driverless electric
 bus soon to be trialled in Perth
A driverless electric bus is set to be trialled in Perth in a test run for the use of autonomous vehicles on West Australian roads.

The staged trial is being conducted and funded by WA's RAC later this year using a French-made electric shuttle bus.

With no driver, it will use three-dimensional sensing technology to carry 15 passengers at speeds up to 45 kilometres per hour.


(We need these urgently, we need them to replace the privately owned fossil-fuel powered car, and we need them to be a part of a public transit system which allows people to move quickly, conveniently, easily and energy-efficiently around our urban areas – Robert McLean).
