SAN FRANCISCO — Private bus company, Bauer’s Intelligent Transportation is among 36 companies, along with the world’s biggest automakers and major tech companies, with a permit to test self-driving vehicles in California, reported the San Francisco Chronicle.
The company, which runs shuttle buses for technology firms, including Cisco Systems, Electronic Arts, Intuit, and Zynga, also offers charter buses and limos, the report said.
