The UK's first driverless buses have been trialled on the roads of Cambridge with more than 300 passengers experiencing them first-hand. The Express reported that managers behind the task said it was a huge victory, others were concerned about safety and their cost.
Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP), Smart Cambridge, and engineering firm Aurrigo worked jointly to conduct the project. Cllr Neil Gough, chair of the GCP executive board, told the publication: "We’re looking for innovative, future-proof transport solutions and this technology could prove to be a vital component in the Greater Cambridge Partnership’s high-quality public transport routes."
