Japan - Up to a maximum radius of three kilometers (roughly 1.85 miles), 50 Japanese residents will be traveling to local supermarkets in style - driverless rides on real streets. Do not believe the car will unpack the groceries or make dinners. The pilot driverless service will be operated by Robot Taxi and it will launch in early 2016. There will be a steering wheel and a driver on board.
Belgium - Following the lead of London's Heathrow Airport, but going even further, Brussel's public transit agency will be launching a driverless shuttle bus service between parking lots and the airport that will use regular roads (not segregated lanes). Since this is a huge airport, perhaps some of the shuttles should be used inside the terminals as well. Just a suggestion. The Heathrow driverless pods, by the way, operate on segregated guideways.
The driverless shuttle service, however, will not begin until 2018.
