How will Edinburgh's driverless buses will work and when do they launch?

A brand new self-driving mode of transport is coming to Edinburgh, and it is the first of its kind worldwide.

The Government has boosted more than £10 million into the driverless bus project that will allow transport for more than 10,000 passengers a week across the Forth Road bridge from Edinburgh Park to Ferrytoll Park and Ride in Fife. Edinburgh will be the first to receive this technology, as early as this spring, with Sunderland, Coventry and Belfast following in the capital's footsteps.

But, how will these self-driving buses work, and when are they estimated to launch? Edinburgh Live answers all your questions.
