World-first automated bus hits next stop in Coffs Harbour

Coffs Harbour customers will be the first in the world to climb aboard a fully automated public shuttle bus to operate without a supervisor or a driver.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said the next phase of the BusBot trial would see the public shuttle service operate at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden in true driverless mode, making it the first automated passenger shuttle bus service to reach this global milestone.

“This is world-leading technology being pioneered in Coffs Harbour,” Mr Toole said.
