Driverless Car Scheme for Milton Keynes

[shyvas]

By 2017, 100 driverless pods could be ferrying people around Milton Keynes

• A 1.5m project to design and construct the first driverless vehicles to run in a UK city centre will be announced by the Government today.

I think the pods should look more like Darth Vader helmets.

I think the pods should look more like Darth Vader helmets.

And less like hi-tec invalid carriages?

I live in Milton Keynes, btw ...

Can't make up my mind if this the best idea since sliced bread or another total 'duffer'.

Now I'm wondering if they couldn't make the shells of these pods look like Ferraris, Buggatis or Lambo's, or something really sexy!

I'd love one of these pods and can see myself in one going to the local hypermarket or to town.

However, I would have to live in Milton Keynes as over here I wouldn't even get to the first roundabout in one piece.
