Since then, the Taipei City Government has examined and revised the plan for the self-driving vehicles and will conduct road tests in the first half of 2020.
The driverless bus can accommodate 12 passengers and a conductor will be on board to ensure the vehicle is functioning properly.
The plan is the driverless bus will be functioning from 12midnight til 5 a.m. when human-driven buses and MRT trains have stopped operating.
According to the Taipei City Traffic Engineering Office, the driverless bus proposal still needs to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA).
