Driverless buses are coming to UK roads, with Milton Keynes and Sunderland leading the charge.

    I’m actually going to disagree a bit here and say, I think it somewhat makes sense.

    Buses have specific routes, and can be trained to perfect those. Not all routes will be suitable, but some will.

    Hope they make a public database for these routes, and are able to use the self driving data to learn from it.

      Agreed - in my area busses drive on dedicated bus routes with no other vehicles. Realistically, they should be trollies. There’s no reason that it couldn’t be automated.
