Driverless bus set to debut


Hands-free mode: From October, this lone bus that can drive by itself will ply the Sunway BRT road in order for regulators to evaluate parameters such as safety, reliability and efficiency as Malaysia tries to ramp up the use of buses in urban areas.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s first ever autonomous bus trial will be rolled out here next month.

Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd will be introducing this joint effort on its Sunway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network using a single fully-imported bus from China for a year.
