The RAC Intellibus operates on public roads on the South Perth foreshore mixing with cars, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.

While the vehicle has a maximum speed of 45km per hour, the Intellibus trial limits the speed to about 18km per hour.

The Intellibus capacity is 11 passengers seated, however our bookings systems allow for up to 6 passengers to book per ride to ensure an optimal experience and leave additional seats for our Chaperones.  

Two Chaperones are onboard at all times, one of which constantly monitors the driving task, remaining attentive to the traffic environment and ready to take back control of the vehicle if necessary.
