Volunteers sought to sample driverless vehicles

27 May 2016
 

The public have been invited to register for the UK’s first on-road driverless vehicle trials, which are due to take place later this year in Greenwich in South-East London. Members of the public can now register for a chance to participate in physical vehicle trials; workshops and interviews discussing the use of automated vehicles and their operation in cities; and an online discussion about where automated vehicles could work in Greenwich.

The trials are part of the GATEway (Greenwich Automated Transport Environment) project – an £8m research project to investigate the use, perception and acceptance of autonomous vehicles in the UK.

Taking place in the UK Smart Mobility Living Lab and led by TRL, the trials will see fully electric automated vehicles navigating their way around Greenwich, with a range of different user groups currently being recruited to determine how people feel about the use of fully automated vehicles.
