Flinders University Is Testing a Driverless Shuttle Bus On Campus

#artificialintelligence

An autonomous shuttle bus is currently being tested at Flinders University and has now entered the second stage of its trial. Dubbed the "Flinders University Express Shuttle" (FLEX), the bus can carry 11 seated passengers. It operates on a 2.8km route and is described as a "test bed" for the future of autonomous vehicles in South Australia. In what continues to be one of Australia's only public autonomous vehicle testing programs, the Flinders University autonomous shuttle bus travels around the Tonsely innovation district, between the train station, the residential village, the university and the TAFE. It's a walking distance route, but keep in mind that it's only a trial at the moment.

Driverless shuttle bus to be tested by public in London - BBC News

Members of the British public are getting their first extended trial of a driverless shuttle bus. Over the next three weeks, about 100 people will travel in a prototype shuttle on a route in Greenwich, London. The vehicle, which travels up to 10mph (16.1kmph), will be controlled by a computer. However, there will be a trained person on board who can stop the shuttle if required during the tests. Oxbotica, the firm that developed the technology behind the shuttle, said 5,000 people had applied to take part. "Very few people have experienced an autonomous vehicle, so this is about letting people see one in person," chief executive Graeme Smith told the BBC.
