Are self-driving buses a real possibility?
Autonomous shuttle buses are already operating in limited capacities at airports, campuses, and planned communities worldwide. Companies like Navya and EasyMile have logged millions of autonomous passenger miles. Full-size self-driving coaches remain years away, but the technology is advancing rapidly in controlled environments.
