Public to test driverless vehicle for first time in London

Members of the public are being given the opportunity to test a driverless vehicle for the first time. Around 100 people will travel in a prototype shuttle on a two-mile route near London's O2 Arena over the next three weeks. It is hoped the project could make it easier for smaller neighbourhoods in Greenwich to access existing public transport hubs.
