Passengers inquire about the driverless mini bus on a public road in Hernesaari, Helsinki, Finland, Aug. 26, 2016. Since mid-August, the French made Easymile EZ-10 driverless mini bus has been tested in an open road section in Helsinki. Automated buses have been tested elsewhere in the world, but operation as part of regular street traffic has been rare. In the past week, the project has attracted some 500 viewers and passengers. In the testing, the type of bus was found to be "scary" of real street environment such as irregularly parked cars, overtaking vehicles and nearby passengers. (Xinhua/Li Jizhi) |
