Volvo Buses and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore have jointly announced a full size, autonomous electric bus. The bus can travel in all weather conditions and can recharge itself automatically.
The Volvo bus is equipped with advanced sensors and navigation controls and guarded against hackers by a cybersecurity-backed artificial intelligence system. The first of two buses has undergone preliminary rounds of rigorous testing and is ready for further road tests on the #NTUsgSmartCampus.

The single-deck Volvo 7900 Electric bus is 12m long and has a capacity of 85 passengers.This includes light detection and ranging sensors (LIDARS), stereo-vision cameras that capture images in 3D, and an advanced global navigation satellite system that uses real-time kinematics. This uses multiple data sources to give pin-point location accuracy of up to one centimetre.
