BEIJING -- Buses circling a 1.53 km route in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou are offering a sneak peek at what the combination of 5G telecommunications and self-driving technology is likely to bring.
Chinese manufacturer Yutong Bus has dispatched four electric self-driving buses in an open-road trial project on "Intelligent Island" in the city's Longzi Lake. The buses, called Xiaoyu, are at Level 4 on the autonomous scale, which means they can drive themselves without any human intervention under certain conditions.
