RDM to lead Cambridge autonomous pod study

Coventry-based autonomous vehicle specialist RDM Group has secured funding to lead a study exploring ways to alleviate congestion in Cambridge. The company is working with Cambridgeshire County Council and Wellcome Genome Campus on the £250,000 feasibility study that will look at the business case for a future self-driving shuttle service across two routes connecting key employment sites in the city.

Electric driverless cars could make petrol and diesel motors ‘socially unacceptable’

FISITA Plus Connected vehicle folk ought to spend less time worrying about the trolley problem and more time concentrating on connected tech instead, Transport for London’s Michael Hurwitz told the FISITA Plus mobility engineering conference this morning. “We spend a lot of time thinking whether the car should take out the child, or the granny…

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.

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 pods could replace night buses in Cambridge

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.

Driverless pods, smart sensors, and citizen apps – inside the plan to future-proof Milton Keynes

Credit: Rui Vieira/PA Wire/PA Images By the age of 50, it is not uncommon to be some way into the gradual and contented expansion of middle-age spread. Milton Keynes is no exception. The town – which has remained unsuccessful in its repeated bids to attain city status, despite what the nomenclature used by the council and many others may indicate – has grown steadily in recent years.

Coventry firm trials driverless vehicles Down Under

Aurrigo, the autonomous vehicle division of RDM Group, is testing its Pod Zero on a network of mapped courses at the Tonsley Innovation District in South Australia to explore a possible solution to carrying and delivering cargo around the technology precinct.
