EDINBURGH, Scotland — Organizers are calling it a first for autonomous
transportation: computer-driven buses operating on a real route with
real passengers navigating through real traffic.

Each bus bristles with 20 sensors, cameras and radar systems, along
with a sophisticated satellite-linked global positioning system.

Every 30 minutes, a bus will traverse a 14-mile route that Fusion says
includes “a range of complex traffic manoeuvres such as roundabouts,
traffic lights, and ‘weaving’ motorway lane changes.”
