Autonomous buses to debut in Cambridge – SMMT
The UK’s first fully guided busway is being used to trial new self-driving transport pods, billed as the most advanced feasibility study yet, bringing fully autonomous vehicles a step closer to the UK. Using the pioneering Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, which runs between the city centre and nearby commuter towns, Coventry-based RDM Group is using its PodZero concept vehicle to complete feasibility studies.
Tomorrow’s technology to be showcased at the 2017 International Driverless Vehicle Summit
The countdown is on until the exciting International Driverless Vehicle Summit in Adelaide on 16-17 November 2017, where delegates will hear from an array of prominent national and international technology thought leaders, human factors experts, insurance and legal practitioners and regulators from
Driverless pods could replace night buses in Cambridge
Futuristic vehicles could pave the way for an evening public transport service It could make around 100 journeys a day – away from pedestrians and cyclists If the £250,000 ($330,000) trial works they plan to create a larger version The company has recently said it is creating offices in Australia and the US Driverless robotic pods are being tested on Cambridge busways in the hope they could solve Britain’s traffic problems. The futuristic vehicles, which can carry four people at a time, could pave the way for an evening public transport service in Cambridge.
Driverless pods trialled on new ‘bus’ routes to solve UK traffic chaos
DRIVERLESS robotic pods are being tested in the hope they could solve Britain’s traffic problems. The futuristic vehicles, which can carry four people at a time, are being trialled in Cambridge as an alternative method of public transport. The new ‘bus’ routes are part of a £250,000 PodZero project to ease congestion.
Driverless bus ‘pod’ tests under way
Tests have started on a new driverless bus system which could pave the way for an evening public transport service. The RDM Group is using self-driving pods along the guided busway in Cambridge to test the feasibility of running 10-seater shuttles along the route.
