Meet the CAVForth project: The world's first autonomous bus

You’d be forgiven for assuming the birthplace of the world’s first autonomous bus is somewhere across the scorching Californian vista. Instead, however, you must cast your view some 5,000 miles east to Edinburgh, Scotland, to find the world’s first autonomous bus service operating on a real schedule with actual passengers. If the sensors are too subtle, perhaps “autonomous bus” plastered down its side will give away the true nature of vehicles running on the AB1 route. What’s on board the world’s first autonomous bus? Finally, it revealed that opinions about self-driving technologies and autonomous buses “vastly improve with exposure”.
