Driverless taxi starts trials in Tokyo ahead of Olympics
A self-driving taxi, operated by Hinomaru Kotsu, began operating on public roads in Japan's capital Tokyo on Monday. Developed by Tokyo-based robot maker ZMP, the sensor-equipped vehicle makes four round-trips a day on a 5.3 km stretch of road. The companies plan to launch full commercial operations in 2020, when the city will host the Summer Olympics.
