Volvo Buses and Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University unveil a full-size autonomous electric bus ready to be tested
Nanyang Technological University Singapore and Volvo Buses unveil their first full size autonomous electric bus in Singapore, March 5, 2019.
Volvo and a Singapore university unveiled a driverless electric bus on Tuesday that will soon undergo tests in the city-state, the latest move towards rolling out autonomous vehicles for public transport. Swedish automaker Volvo Buses and its local partner Nanyang Technological University unveiled what they described as a full-size autonomous electric bus and said the vehicle would soon start trial runs in the university's sprawling campus.
Data from the trials will be used to improve the technology before the driverless buses are put to the test on public roads, Volvo and NTU said in a statement. Volvo Buses president Hakan Agnevall said the vehicle was "an important step towards our vision for a cleaner, safer and smarter city".It uses 80 percent less energy than a diesel bus of a similar size and is equipped with sensors and navigation controls managed by an artificial intelligence system, the statement said.
