The list of self-driving vehicles is ever growing, with companies now producing cars, planes and even military trucks without the need for drivers. And the latest means of transport to be given the autonomous treatment is a public bus. Mercedes-Benz has revealed its self-driving'Future Bus', which it says will be the'local public transport of the future'. As well as being self-driving, the Future Bus will contain a range of modern features in the aim of allowing its passengers to'enjoy a fascinating driving experience.' So far, the bus has been tested on a 12 mile (20 km) route through Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where it performed without any problems - although there was a driver in place in case of emergency.
