Driverless buses in Trikala on a trial basis (video)

The changing face of transport

Four automatic mini buses made their way to the Greek streets of Trikala, northwestern Greece. The driverless buses are on trial as part of the EU-funded CityMobil2 research project. Each bus has a seating capacity of 10-12 passengers and are currently being tested in five European cities, including the Greek one.

The buses are equipped with a GPS system and lazer that follows a predetermined route. Sensors are used to detect obstacles before taking decisive action to avoid a collision.
