EZ-10
A driverless bus pilot project in Helsinki.
Finnish law doesn’t require a driver to have a vehicle — making it an ideal test bed for at least some kinds of self-driving technologies. The EZ10 buses are intended for short-range shuttling of people, for instance between a train station and bus stop will only travel at a jogging pace.
It may seem old hat to Valley-dwellers who see Google’s self-driving cars zooming around the streets of Mountain View, but different vehicles, with different purposes, in different countries, following different traffic rules may as well be a whole different industry.
