haynes manual for GA16DE engine (includes '91) states ignition
timing should be 10 degrees BTDC (US) for manual transmission
with idle set at 650 rpm.

it is normal for spark timing to advance as engine speed increases,
i do not have info as to amount of advance at specific rpms.

That is no answer to my challenge. These are not in public use, as
I stipulated in my post.

AFAIK there is still no system that I know of that meets your claims:
" This is actually something that is tested and implemented.
It is a cheap and reliable way to set up a driverless public
transport."

It may be in tests but it is not publicly implemented.
