Self-driving bus [2015/1/11]

Self-driving buses are now being promoted as one of the alternatives of future transportation. The idea seems quite interesting but I wonder about the safety of the passengers. After all, buses carry more passengers than cars. Also, what happens if there is some malfunction? Do we have a real life "Speed" movie with a crazy bus?

Also, would this buses operate in chaotic city environment or only long distance rides? I can see the self-driving bus, an alternative to a train, where people can comfortably sleep with reclining chairs to go across the country.

However, in chaotic city environments, where buses have to break rules to ride people...hmmm..it may be too early.

I am sure we will figure it out in the future.
