'World's first' fully driverless bus trial begins in Singapore

The world's first full-automated electric driverless bus has been launched by Volvo in a trial taking place in Singapore. The zero-emissions vehicle uses 80 per cent less energy than diesel powered vehicles to transport people around the city-state. It is hoped that the move will help the city-state take a step forward in the race to deploy autonomous public transport.
