More robocar videos

This is the U Tube link for Cycab. I am still looking for novel videos of robocars. And here is an article about driverless Cycbs operating in Vantaa, Finland; as well as trials runs in Mons, Belgium.

By the way:

"According to a leading market research firm Techo Systems Research (TSR), the percentage of new vehicles with integrated cameras is projected to increase from ~20 percent in 2008 to nearly 70 percent in 2012."

Just more evidence.

And here, in Castillon Spain they have driverless steering:

"The guided vehicle systems involve taking the steering of the bus away from the bus driver in the case of Castellón, part of the route. This eliminate the need for any lateral movement of the bus within a lane of traffic. A bus is generally approximately 2.5 m wide, but a bus lane is usually 3.75 m or even 4 m wide to allow for this lateral movement. A guided bus system, provides opportunities to implement dedicated bus ways where road space is in short supply and, where conventional bus lanes could be impractical. It also provides opportunities – by means of automated docking - to improve physical access to the bus by minimising the vertical and horizontal gaps between the bus stop and the bus."
