Hyundai will launch unmanned minibuses

Hyundai Motor Company presented in South Korea, the unmanned public transport RoboShuttle. Special minibuses based on the Hyundai H350 will run on a 6.1 km route in the city of Sejong. Passengers will be able to book a ride through the app on their smartphone, choosing one of 20 stops for boarding.
