Autonomous buses to be trialled in Germany

Autonomous buses are set to be trialled in the German cities of Mannheim and Friedrichshafen, says the Karlsruher Institute for Technology (KIT) and the RABus Consortium. KIT says the project will result in a model concept for efficient public passenger transit with autonomous busses in the state of Baden-Württemberg, where the State Ministry of Transport will fund RABus with €7 million.
