London's first driverless cars revealed

LONDON: -- The design for the first driverless cars to be tested on the streets of London has been revealed.

The consortium behind the trial has decided to adapt electric passenger shuttles that are currently in service at Heathrow Airport for use in Greenwich.

Unlike the Heathrow pods, they will not need dedicated tracks.

The Greenwich trial is one of four in the UK to test driverless technology and public reaction to it.
