Singapore announced on Wednesday that the country will begin testing autonomous buses on the road in 2018.
Construction calls for a hands-on approach. It's a tough job that requires hardy workers. The new Mercedes-Benz Arocs has all the qualities required to be the perfect partner for construction-related transport: powerful engines, varied drive configurations and a robust chassis for the sustainable development of industry-appropriate vehicle bodies. The Arocs has an extensive programme allowing customers to design their own transport solutions that cater to individual requirements. Construction haulage today, however, requires more than that. Operations represent logistical masterpieces, often completed under extreme conditions and which call for state-of-the-art-technology. Exactly the type of innovation brought to the construction site by the new Arocs. Boasting the latest generation of technological developments such as Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC), Sideguard Assist, Active Brake Assist and market ‘firsts’ such as MirrorCam and the Multimedia Cockpit, not to mention the Truck Data Center (TDC) connectivity platform, the Arocs is setting the standard for efficiency, digitalisation, safety and connectivity.

Have you ever heard of self-driving cars? If you have, you might think that they are still far off into the future. Well, think again. This is the PostBus self-driving shuttle, called the Arma, and it was ferrying people to and fro at the CeBIT technology fair in Hannover. The autonomous shuttles use three LIDAR sensors in the front and three in the back to navigate through the streets. The PostBus Arma shuttles, which are a joint project by Swiss company PostAuto and French manufacturer Nayra, still do have driver to make sure nothing goes haywire though, but perhaps not for long. This isn't the first time that the PostBus Arma shuttle has carried people to and fro - the self-driving mini bus is already in operation in the Swiss town of Sion. With a population of 33,000 people, Sion has been chosen as a pilot for mass introduction of self driving tech to Switzerland.
U.S. startup Nutonomy has launched a trial in Singapore of what it says is the first driverless taxi fleet in the world. Kirsty Basset reports.
The company prided for building the ultimate driving machine has an ambition plan for helping ridesharing services. By 2021 BMW plans to produce fully autonomous vehicles with the intent of providing ridesharing customers with a driverless alternative. For people that don't like other people, a ridesharing service sans social interactions may be on the way.
