SEOUL (AFP): South Korea's capital launched its first self-driving bus route on Friday (Nov 25) part of an experiment which engineers said aims to make people feel more comfortable with driverless vehicles on the roads.

The new vehicle does not look like a regular bus and has rounded edges along with large windows that make it appear more like a toy than a technological breakthrough.
