Perth tests first driverless bus
Canberra: Australia's first driverless and electric shuttle bus plied on road on Wednesday in a trial run in Perth. The trial involved the 'RAC Intellibus' travelling along the South Perth Esplanade, carrying passengers, interacting with traffic, parked cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Driverless trucks are already used by mining companies such as Rio Tinto while driverless cars are being developed by many companies but are yet to be used in traffic. IANS
