University in Shanghai launches driverless bus service on campus

Shanghai Jiao Tong University has launched a trial run of a driverless minibus service on its campus in Shanghai's Xuhui district.

The service, for on-campus commuting, uses an eight-seat vehicle developed jointly by the university's Research Institute of Intelligence Vehicles and a company specializing in automatic driving systems research and production.

Guided by a map stored in the cloud, the bus can pick up passengers and take them to the stop they select by scanning a QR code.
