WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) — More buses may be able to travel between New Jersey and New York City through the Lincoln Tunnel with the help of autonomous technology.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on Thursday approved spending $4.8 million to award contracts to two firms to test whether sensors and other technology can shorten the distance between buses and boost speed in the tunnel's exclusive bus lane. The lane handles 1,850 buses carrying more than 70,000 passengers each weekday between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., the agency said.
