Transport: Britain's first self-driving SHUTTLES take to the streets of Cambridge

The streets of Cambridge are to play host to Britain's first self-driving shuttle from today in milestone tests that will see the bus ferry passengers on a busy main road. Developed by Aurrigo, the three Auto-Shuttles will run a two-mile route from Madingley Road Park and Ride around the University of Cambridge's West Campus. This is the first time that a custom-made driverless shuttle has operated a route in the UK while surrounded by other traffic, bicycles and pedestrians. Each shuttle will be able to seat 10 passengers after social distancing measures are lifted, with the passengers selected for the trial using an app to arrange a journey.
