Japan is once again a step ahead. As the first country, buses that will not need a driver will be here. They should reach Japan in 2019. They have the name Baidu.

A car that will decide for the driver and the possibility of autopilot already exists, why not do something similar with public transport?

Technological Society said at its annual conference that production increased . In Japan, in cooperation with SB Drive, Autonomous Softbank from the public sector.

Baidu, colliding along with the Chinese bus manufacturer King Long on the construction of Apolong buses. These are already made for 100 pieces. One bus can accommodate up to 14 passengers . For ordinary buses we are used to the driver and the steering wheel, but in this case they will be missing. Apolong comes with autonomous level 4 driving ability that don't need drivers in a specified geographical area that is according to the National Safety Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
