Autopilot buses could use this too.

Or just buld a tram that rides on rails. More effecient and no need to over engineer an autopilot system

You have to lay tracks for a tram though, means changing the route isn't that easy. Self-Driving buses would actually be more efficient since you could alter the route on a hourly basis if you wanted optimized by traffic and destinations required.

All that could be easily automated, but you lose that if you have a physical track you have to run along.
