Stagecoach has announced it will be testing the UK’s first self-driving bus on Scottish roads this week, with plans to recruit 20 drivers when the scheme goes live.
In partnership with Fusion Processing, Falkirk-based bus builder Alexander Dennis and Transport Scotland, the autonomous bus will not accept any passengers on the route that is being written into its system, ahead of the launch of the CAVForth pilot service during the summer.
The two-week pilot is jointly funded by the UK Government’s Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV).
