Driverless pods for local authorities unveiled

New driverless pods aimed to help transform local city transport have been unveiled at Birmingham’s Automechanika Show.

Developed by RDM Group, the Pod Zero range will be aimed at organisations looking for a first or last mile transport solution, and will be available in two, four and eight-seat variations.

With a range of 60 miles, and a top speed of only 15 mph, these pods have been labelled as ideal fro airports, city centres and university campuses.

David Keene, CEO of RDM Group, said: “All our pods will have a range of 60 miles and will able to travel with a top speed of 15mph. We have also ensured that they have been designed to accommodate disabled people and have wheelchair access.

“We are in advanced negotiations with a number of international parties keen to be the first to adopt the Pod Zero range. These include airports, universities and government departments and could be worth in excess of £15 million.”
