Driverless vehicle trials underway in London

The GATEway Project has taken fundamental steps forward in its ongoing trials of driverless vehicles in a residential environment, with the UK’s first trials of the CargoPod, an autonomous grocery delivery pod. Throughout the project, online consultation expert, Commonplace, has continued to gather official feedback via an interactive map from members of the public who have utilised the vehicles and those who have observed them, about what this step towards the future of transport means. The GATEway Project is a world-leading research programme, led by TRL and funded by UK government and industry. It aims to demonstrate the use of autonomous vehicles for ‘last mile’ deliveries and mobility. www.GATEway-project.org.uk
