Self driving bus in Helsinki


You may remember Ollie, the autonomous, 3D printed bus. Here it is in operation in Helsinki.



Clue: when shooting video with your phone, turn it to landscape mode. Most stills too. In this particular instance, landscape would have avoided cutting off the ends of the bus around the 16 & 25 second marks. Plus, what's happening around the bus would probably have been more interesting than large areas of wet road & grey sky.
