TAIPEI (Taiwan News)–Driverless buses are coming soon to Taiwan’s southern port city
of Kaohsiung on a trial basis at least.
Two electric self-driving minibuses will begin to transport passengers who registered to try out the futuristic public transportation vehicles at the EcoMobility World Festival 2017 in October, according to Kaohsiung City Government.
The festival to promote eco-friendly transportation options will take place from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31 at the city’s Hamaxing Railway Cultural Park.
