Plan to automatically slow down or stop dangerous Nottingham e-scooter riders

Nottingham's fleet of e-scooters will be used to test technology that will automatically slow or stop the vehicle if it is being ridden on a pavement or recklessly.

Superpedestrian is the company behind the LINK e-scooters, with these updated models taking over from the previous WIND scooters at the end of last year.

As part of an additional $125million in funding sourced by the company into its e-scooters, 25 cities across the US and Europe which use the programme will have vehicles that operate 'Pedestrian Defence' through this year.
