Singapore will put high-tech sensors on regular buses to make them driverless

So far, most self-driving bus trials have involved smaller pod-like vehicles trundling between short distances.

A new bus trial launched in Singapore aims to outfit regular large buses with clever technology, so they can operate along Singapore's busy main roads eventually.

The Land Transport Authority announced in a Facebook post that it will start an autonomous bus trial with two electric hybrid buses.

The buses will have a host of sensors placed on them, and local college Nanyang Technological University will build the navigation software to control the buses. Read more...
