Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation to Conduct Autonomous Driving Demonstration on Toei Bus Route

The Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation will conduct an autonomous driving demonstration experiment using Toei buses.

A portion of an existing bus route will be used as the operation route, and the demonstration will be conducted with a large-size bus. The vehicle will be the “ERGA” model manufactured by Isuzu Motors, and the test will be conducted at Autonomous Driving Level 2 (a driver is on board and drives manually depending on the situation).

The route will cover a section of the Express Route 05, between Shin-Kiba Station and the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Tokyo, with a required travel time of about 30 minutes. There will be four round trips per day. The demonstration period is from March 1 to 13, with no service on March 3 and 13. Passengers can ride free of charge by making a reservation through a special website. The capacity is 20 passengers per trip, and if seats are available, passengers can board without a reservation.
