Ocado trials UK's first driverless delivery van Greenwich

They've become a familiar sight throughout the UK, nipping from house to house with vans packed full of groceries. But Ocado delivery drivers could potentially become a thing of the past, after the company completed successful trial deliveries using driverless vehicles in London's Greenwich. The online supermarket hopes the self-driving vans will improve safety and increase the speed at which orders can be met. It says the system could be ready for commercial launch nationwide by 2019. Residents of Greenwich had access to the country's first self-driving grocery delivery service powered by an electric CargoPod (pictured).
