After the glitches the driverless bus trail has been suffering this should be interesting in cut throat city traffic.

Unfortunately now the RAC is a wealthy organization, desperately in search of relevance.
Such trials, just like their joke of a bus trial, are the very definition of pointless. We already know what technology exists. The fact that you can make a driverless vehicle appear to function in a very limited and controlled environment, proves nothing. |

So funny as what's not indicated in this article is they will have a "chaperone driver" on board to take control if R2D2 gets confused.

I didn't think anyone was at level 5 yet, which is required for full autonomy. For that matter I think only a couple are even thinking about a level 4 attempt. |

It will give naughty kids something else to throw rocks at or hang onto with their push bikes. Trust me, I have seen it all in Sydney.
