Hangzhou’s Tonglu County in China just rolled out its first self-driving superstar—a cutesy blue shuttle buzzing with futuristic flair! At 6 meters long and packing 9 seats, this mini-marvel dishes out live journey stats (think cabin cams, speed updates, and stop alerts) on its onboard screen.  

But here’s the kicker: It’s got brainiac Level 4 autonomy—the smartest on the block! Armed with LiDAR, radar, and eagle-eyed cameras, this robo-bus glides through traffic like a pro, dodging obstacles, spotting pedestrians, and nailing silky-smooth stops. During trials, it’s even aced sly overtakes and pinpoint-perfect station docking.  

Tonglu isn’t stopping here: 5 autonomous buses will soon zoom into daily life, tackling 8 real-world scenarios (school routes? grocery sprints?) to turn sci-fi commutes into everyday magic.
