Self-driving bus makes debut at public transportation expo

The first Guangzhou International Expo on New Energy and Digital Technology for Public Transportation opened on Wednesday in south China’s Guangdong Province, with many companies bringing new technologies and products including new self-driving bus.

In the outdoor exhibition area, there are displays of self-driving taxis, new energy buses, and urban management robot systems based on public transportation scanners. In the indoor exhibition area, a new self-driving bus, produced by auto maker Miraco Motor, made its debut.

It is a 15-seater model. In the future, citizens can book a bus just like booking an online taxi. The status of passengers can be seen on the bus display. The expo, which will last for three days, is held in the form of “forum + exhibition”, creating an important platform for exchanges between Chinese public transportation companies and counterparts around the world.
