The 2025 Osaka World Expo in Japan is set to commence on April 13. Osaka City Mayor Yokoyama has announced that autonomous buses are already operational within the Expo Park. These buses will navigate autonomously on designated vehicle-free road segments, aiming to demonstrate the potential of future transportation and the seamless convenience of downtown Osaka. Notably, the steering wheels of these buses feature the "BYD" logo, hinting that they might be BYD K8 electric buses, although there is a possibility that they have been modified by Japanese manufacturers for autonomous operation.
