This is 1/3 the size of normal bus in china.

It has 6 cameras that gives it a 360 prospective of the road. With all that technology in it, there is an absence of driver seat, steering column, level 4 autonomous to you in short.


Having said that, fastening a seat belt is mandatory. To make one feel better after that, it has voice controlled controls like air conditioner, lights. Also has a large screen inside that shows what the bus sees and other vitals of the vehicle.

The A.I in the vehicle also collects data from LiDAR for pedestrian monitoring and proximity alert. 

This also is connected with a mesh of signals, that gives access to data like, signal stop for how much time, which stop has more commuters in it. This ride is currently 12 kilometers long (3 bus stops) and limited to the 5G connectivity. Not to just end it there, even the ticket is paperless and work withbones mobile phone.

What did Tesla, The car company do? 1- For a long time the auto industry creative giants were Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, GM and Ford. That got replaced by Tesla in less than 10 years. 2- Fire, is a cave man technology, that is used in a fossil fuel car. In a commercial succesful car, Tesla was to first to move out of cave man technology. 3- If any one were to buy a stock today. One of a factors to consider is rate of innovation. Why does it matter? Ask your self where was Amazon 10 years back. Today, it might not be the #1 shopping option for many products, at the same time helps us plan. If we find a better deal, also changes our  shopping behavior. Tesla has done a similar thing with sourcing to manufacturing, sales and after sales of a car.

Atomic Battery

Look at the Tesla car and thinking the only thing holding it back is the battery power. What if a car had a small radio active reactor. This replaces the battery weakness of holding a limited charge.  The heating elements in the car need to be efficient, that is where aerodynamics and radiator checks in.  Getting in a little bit more deep. If a personal vehicle of 300kgs had to move at day 40 KMPH.  Precondition:  In even terrain the car consumes more than 3kW to maintain 40km/h. In an ideal place, it take 4X times more force to move a body from constant. So that amount of power needed to a body of 300 kgs at 40 KMPL should be equal to moving 1200 kgs. Which will need a motor close to 1200W.  Based on what I was able to find a small atomic battery will be the size if a penny and can last for 5,730 years to reach 50 per cent power, if it is a Carbon-14 one.                  - Tathagat Banerjee Few sources of information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_battery https://newatlas.co
