In brief: NTU and Volvo unveil the world’s first full-size autonomous bus

• Sweden’s Volvo Buses and Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) on Tuesday unveiled a full-size autonomous electric bus – the first of its kind in the world – for testing this year in the city-state.
• The 12-meter vehicle can carry up to 80 passengers, Volvo and NTU said.
• High-density Singapore has been encouraging the development of driverless technology in hopes that its residents will use more shared vehicles and public transport. The city-state aims to deploy autonomous buses on public roads in three different districts from 2022.
