Self-driving car on the road in Melbourne-no more driver license
Adding a local flavour to the US-built Tesla Model S electric sedan, Bosch Australia engineers have been testing what the Victorian government claims is the nation’s first locally-developed autonomous vehicle.
In a collaboration with VicRoads, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and the Victorian state government, Bosch engineers in Clayton, Victoria have deployed the self-driving car as part of an intelligence-gathering project.
The result will set the foundations for the regulations and infrastructure necessary to allow autonomous cars to function effectively in Australia, and could influence the use of new signs, traffic signals and other infrastructure.
