Driverless Knight Rider-style buses set to hit roads NEXT WEEK as thousands of Brits brace for new transport

DRIVERLESS Knight Rider-style buses are set to hit UK roads in days as thousands brace for the terrifying new concept.

The self-driving motors will soon be zooming along the streets of Central Milton Keynes.

Photographs of the StreetCAV, a 'plug-and-play' shuttle, show a pod-like vehicle with bars and handles like any normal bus.

Except it's almost impossible to tell which end is the front, because there's no space for a driver's seat.

Instead, the entire pod has room for passengers, with seats along either side and a central door.

Before it is given the green light, the buses will be trialled in the city centre in December, MK Citizen reported.
If successful, the vehicles should be ready to board its first passengers in 2025.

The driverless shuttles are currently on display in the town's Smart City Experience Centre.

Zenzic’s CAM Supply Chain UK programme was launched by the government to help bring the UK in the running for world-leader in development of self-driving vehicles.

Milton Keynes isn't the only town which could soon have driverless motors roaming around its streets.

In early 2023, The Sun Online reported how self-driving, zero-emission shuttles will be piloted in Sunderland after receiving £6m in government and industry funding.

The Sunderland Advanced Mobility Shuttle project added it would trial three self-driving Aurrigo Auto-Shuttles.
