Nice one

I don't reply dm

well i cant say also ...i know main head office is in stuggart and after stuggart the 2nd biggest is in bremen close to hamburg.after hannover..honestly bro i dont care i just wanted you to know this futuristic bus cudnt have been assembled/engineered in a sub station considering its epic nature.

My guy Mannheim is where most of Mercedes buses are built and I saw them test drive buses almost on a daily bases but maybe this particular one was done somewhere else

This type of buses are computer based & must be closely monitored..I don't think we have the facility to power this type of buses on our city roads.

Mercedes-Benz has revealed its design for an autonomous bus, which recently made its first self-driven journey along a 20-kilometre-long route in the Netherlands

Developed based on technology in the company's autonomous truck, the Future Bus is able to drive itself along suitable routes, communicate with traffic lights to cross junctions, and automatically stop at stations.

The Future Bus recently made a 20 kilometre trip from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport to the nearby town Haarlem, which the company claims makes it the first automated city bus tested in a real-life traffic situation.

"[Future Bus] makes public transport safer, more efficient and more productive," said Wolfgang Bernhard, board member of Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler AG.
"More people can travel from A to B quickly, punctually and in comfort, to the benefit of all: bus operators, bus drivers and passengers."

The Future Bus is driven by CityPilot technology – a self-driving system based on Highway Pilot, from the company's autonomous Actros truck.

Using cameras, radar and GPS systems, the bus is able to recognise and communicate with traffic lights, allowing it to drive through the junctions they control.

The bus – developed by the company's Daimler Trucks department – also has an auto-brake system that can recognise obstacles, like pedestrians crossing the road, to avoid collisions.

It is able to automatically halt at bus stops, where it will open and close its doors for passengers to get on and off.

The driving status of the bus is indicated through coloured strips of light on its exterior – white for manual and blue for automated.
Doors are similarly illuminated to speed up passenger boarding and embarking, with the exit marked in red and the entrance in green.

Inside, the bus is divided into three zones – a service zone at the front, an express zone in the middle for passengers travelling short distances, and a lounge zone at the back for long-distance travellers.

Many companies are proposing ideas for autonomous vehicles and supporting infrastructure as the technology edges closer to ubiquity.

one day planes will start driving itself. am not just comfortable with this technology, kudos to them though...

Kelvic4real:
Hmm. Soon computer wil replace human labour and this will cause high level of unemployment and social vices

may not be so.... rather more jobs in other spaces will be created.

check this out
we do accounting with software but we still train accountants
we make building plans with CAD but we still have architects and engineers
the internet has greatly reduced distances and now we have online shopping with companies like alibaba, konga, jumia etc making billions with it

people whose jobs and businesses are threatened by innovation have to adapt and take advantage of those novelties so as to remain relevant

Kelvic4real:
Hmm. Soon computer wil replace human labour and this will cause high level of unemployment and social vices

it has started already some companies that use perhaps contract staff and casual some of these automatic machine has replaced their works

Kelvic4real:
Hmm. Soon computer wil replace human labour and this will cause high level of unemployment and social vices

the world is gradually taken by computer. That is why man needs to watch population rate

What do u mean??

Futuristic even to the design of the interior....Nice..

Nice development, but I no go follow for people who go test am...

Technology,but my fear is that can it be drive in country like Nigeria with numerous hold up and sometime heavy traffic.....Oyinbo dey try Africa na witch hunting demself dey knw how to dey do,Invest here in Naija instead of carry those money abroad for the Oyinbo to used in developed their country.

I probably quickly concluded that it was made in Mannheim because the plate number is MA-but I might be wrong

in oshodi?

lol..@quickly...i hope u are not a fan of quickies#justasking#

Can this one make 5km in Lagos traffic?.
That's the real place to test it. If it could dodge taxi and bus drivers in Lagos traffic it won't even need a driver in the driver's seat at all.

This cannot work here o, by the time Dangote trailer meet am for road ... The rest is history

To be driven on which road?

Nigerians don't care on which road, just to show off.
