Local Authorities and regional transport operators will study how self-driving vehicle technology can improve local transport in remote, rural, and urban areas, as they are awarded a share of £1.3 million in joint UK government and industry funding to study the feasibility of self-driving mass transit solutions across the UK. Northumberland, Solihull, Inverness and the Isle of Skye are some of the rural areas that will benefit from £1.3 million in funding for six projects. Studies will look into how self-driving vehicle technology could be cheaper, emit less carbon, and increase transport safety and security.
