UK’s first autonomous self-driving bus trial to launch in Scotland on Monday

The UK’s first self-driving bus service is launching on Monday, May 15, in Scotland, following a 14-mile route from Edinburgh to Fife. The trial is also believed to be the first project of this complexity anywhere in the world that uses full-sized autonomous public buses.

Passengers will be able to take the new AB1 autonomous bus service, along the route between Ferrytoll Park & Ride, in Fife to Edinburgh Park Transport Interchange, over the next two years.
