Driverless delivery vans on the road in two years, says UK tech company StreetDrone
Driverless delivery vans could be operating on UK streets by 2023, if Oxford-based tech company StreetDrone gets its way.
High Street retailer Wilco has just taken a £3m stake in the firm through its investment arm WilkinsonFuture, and is hoping to be able to trial driverless on-street deliveries in a project sanctioned by Oxford City Council within a couple of years. Current legislation prohibits driverless vehicles from public roads, but talks are ongoing with relevant legislative bodies to enable a trial to go forward.
