Hammersmith Bridge’s Future ‘Could Be Driverless’
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading
A community group in west London has proposed using autonomous pods to move people over the Hammersmith Bridge, which has been closed to vehicular traffic since 2017.
These three paragraphs add more detail.
Barnes and Hammersmith Electric Light Transit (BHELT) was established “to help explore, develop and promote the idea of lightweight autonomous electric pods operating across Hammersmith Bridge”.
The not-for-profit organisation said the pods could be part of “an inclusive and sustainable transport future” for the area.
Transport for London said it had no plans to introduce the pods on the river crossing, or for driverless buses more generally on its network.
I notice that the picture of one of the pods, has a sticker on it, that says Milton Keynes.
It appears that the trials THERE ended in March.
So, I can’t go and have a ride.
But BHELT has a web site.
