The two-seater prototype pod has been built by Coventry-based RDM Group, and was first shown to the public in February 2015. The LUTZ (Low-carbon Urban Transport Zone)[1] Pathfinder pod is part of the UK Government's Transport Systems Catapult Autodrive project, a {{GBP}}20 million project.[2] Three pods were tested initially in Milton Keynes during 2015 to ensure that they can comply with the Highway Code. A further trial, with a four seat vehicle developed from the LUTZ, commenced along a guided busway near Cambridge for possible use in an after hours service.[3] SpecificationThe pod is a two-seater electric car with space for luggage. It has a limited top speed of {{convert|15|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} and has a range of {{convert|40|mi|km|0|}} or can run for eight hours. The self-driving equipment includes 19 sensors, cameras, radar and Lidar. Users can hail them by using a smartphone app.[4] The autonomous control software is developed by Mobile Robotics Group from University of Oxford.[5] PartnersThe Lutz Pathfinder pod has been developed by the UK Automotive Council, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and RDM Group. Public trialsThe first trial of autonomous operation on a public road, with pedestrians, cycles and other vehicles, was conducted in Milton Keynes on 11 October 2016. The vehicles "operated as expected."[6] In October 2017 a trial service, using a four-seat vehicle, between Trumpington Park and Ride and Cambridge railway station along the guided busway, for possible use in an after hours service. The £250,000 project was part funded by Innovate UK and delivered in partnership with Connecting Cambridgeshire and the Smart Cambridge Programme.[3] If the trial is successful a ten seat vehicle will be used in routine service.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Brown|first1=Graeme|title=Midland firm chosen to make UK first driverless cars|url=http://www.birminghampost.co.uk/business/business-news/midland-firm-chosen-make-uk-7115011|website=Birmingham Post|accessdate=19 February 2015|date=30 May 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Burn-Callander|first1=Rebecca|title=This is the Lutz pod, the UK's first driverless car|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businessclub/technology/11403306/This-is-the-Lutz-pod-the-UKs-first-driverless-car.html|website=Daily Telegraph|accessdate=11 February 2015|date=11 February 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Trials begin of driverless pods that could be used alongside night buses in Cambridge (but they'll only travel at 15mph)|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5008313/Driverless-pods-replace-night-buses-Cambridge.html|accessdate=25 October 2017|date=October 24, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Jane|first1=Wakefield|title=Driverless car review launched by UK government|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31364441|website=BBC News|accessdate=11 February 2015|date=11 February 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Olson|first1=Parmy|title=The Powerful Brain Behind Driverless Fleets Is Already Being Built|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2016/02/18/this-startup-is-building-a-brain-for-fleets-of-driverless-vehicles/?linkId=21378998#7d4248d3f623|website=Forbes|accessdate=19 February 2016|date=18 February 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Davis|first1=Rob|title=Driverless car passes first public test in UK|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/11/self-driving-car-first-uk-test-milton-keynes-driverless-lutz-pathfinder|accessdate=12 October 2016|work=The Guardian|date=12 October 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Driverless robot 'pods' take to the Cambridge guided busway|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/driverless-robot-pods-take-cambridge-13772841|accessdate=24 October 2017|date=October 18, 2017}} External links
