London, England, is about to publicly test driverless cars, and Greenwich is the first test site for the "GATEway" project, which will provide driverless vehicles to voluntary trialists, with the aim of assessing public reaction
to the driverless car concept.
The test capsule can travel around London without human supervision and can transport passengers
on autopilot.
In fact, similar capsules are already in use at London's Heathrow Airport, and the testing phase focused on the environmental impact of the driverless capsules rather than the technology itself
.
At Heathrow, all-electric Ultra Pods can travel on rails to help transport travelling passengers
at the airport.
The Transport Research Laboratory, Westfield Sportscars and Oxbotica (a division of the University of Oxford's mobile robotics group) have joined forces to push Ultra Pods out of airport rail and onto public roads
.
Greenwich is the best place to test Ultra Pods because there are many pedestrians and cyclists who are target users
of driverless capsules.
Those who apply for the test are surveyed before and after the driverless journey to assess the success
of the driving process from an experimental point of view.
Nick Read, director of the Transportation Research Lab, said: "We want to give the public a chance to get them in driverless cars, form their own perceptions, such as how much driverless cars cost, and make them believe in and accept urban driverless services
.
" ”
To see if driverless cars are viable in the UK, the UK government has provided £8 million (about $11.
5 million) in funding, although it's unclear when driverless capsules will be deployed in the real world
