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.

Coventry-based autonomous vehicle pioneer, RDM Group has received the Royal seal of approval for its innovative work from the Duke of Cambridge. Prince William spoke to representatives from the firm when he attended the 50th birthday celebrations of Milton Keynes, where the driverless pod developed by RDM is shortly due to undergo real-world trials.
