[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Scotland will start its first driverless bus network next week. The buses, according to the details, will function without any input from the drivers. However, in the event of an emergency, the drivers will remain behind the wheel.The world’s first automated local bus service, according to the operator, will transport 10,000 passengers every week on five single-deck buses over a 22.5-kilometer route.
Following a test run near Edinburgh, Stagecoach bus service policy director Peter Stevens stated, “The autonomous technology on this bus has been tested previously, but this is the first time that it has been installed on a bus that is now a registered local bus service.”

Because UK legislation prohibits completely autonomous cars, the buses, which will operate at speeds of up to 80 km/h, will have a safety driver. Ticketing and passenger inquiries will be handled by a conductor.
These buses’ Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS) checks for pedestrians using optical cameras and radar, while the onboard system recognises other road users to avoid crashes.
The control system’s artificial intelligence engine uses data from the bus to locate it and compute the safest route. Stevens stated that the new service will be safer, more fuel-efficient, and provide a better client experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
