A small fleet of
Self-driving public
buses has started running on the roads of China's tech district of Shenzhen, Guangdong.
The four
buses are currently on trial, and will run over three stops on a public road about 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long.
But where typical
Self-driving bus projects involve smaller shuttle capsules, the four
buses are nearly full-sized buses, able to carry up to
19 passengers.
