(240522) -- HANGZHOU, May 22, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A supervisor is pictured at the driver's seat on an autonomous driving minibus in Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, east China's Zhejiang Province, May 22, 2024. The autonomous driving bus route in Yuhang District is the first one of its kind powered by vehicle-road coordination technology in Hangzhou. This 5-kilometer bus line winds through schools, industrial parks, residential compounds and subway stations, free of charge for all citizens. Autonomous driving buses achieve holographic sensing of the road network through smart sensing devices such as high-definition cameras and radars along the roads. The vehicle-road coordination technology also effectively improves operational safety for the vehicles. That said, each of these buses still has a human supervisor, who would immediately take over the vehicle in case of emergency to further ensure passenger safety. (Xinhua/Huang Zongzhi)

Air Pollution - Dhaka

Severe dust pollution adds to commuters' woes on the road, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 5, 2024. Dust pollution reaches an alarming stage in Dhaka and many deaths as well as several million cases of illness occur every year due to the poor air quality. Dhaka has long been grappling with air pollution issues. Its air quality usually turns unhealthy during winter and improves during monsoon. With the advent of winter, the city's air quality starts deteriorating sharply due to the massive discharge of pollutant particles from construction works, rundown roads, brick kilns and other sources. Bangladesh’s overcrowded capital city has topped the list of cities with most polluted air.The city’s air was classified as “unhealthy” at 9.05am on December 29, 2023, with an AQI score of 186. Indonesia’s Jakarta (169),India’s Mumbai (166), and India’s Kolkata(165) were the other cities with poor air quality, according to IQAir. Photo by Habibur Rahman/ABACAPRESS.COM
