Driverless car

Bystanders look at an autonomous self-driving vehicle as it is tested in a pedestrianised zone during a media event in Milton Keynes, north of London, on October 11, 2016 

Driverless vehicles carrying passengers took to Britain's streets for the first time in a landmark trial which could pave the way for their introduction across the country.

The compact two-seater cars trundled along a pedestrianised zone in Milton Keynes, north of London, in a trial by Transport Systems Catapult (TSC) which plans to roll out 40 vehicles in the city.
