Hmmm... the jury's out on this one. It only takes one person to hack into this remotely using jamming software / WiFi or to get onto the servers and lock the 'on-board assistant' out of the system and things can go very wrong. I know TfL are looking at fully automating parts of the Tube, so will be watching this one closely. Thankfully, the Unions are so powerful, they will resist any change if that happened on the Tube, for instance. If only 5,000 are 'selected' it's not really like just anyone can go and try these out, so results collected could be quite biased  |

Looks similar to what they have at Heathrow Terminal 5 |

I believe this one is a pod taken from the Heathrow system to be used for the Greenwich testing Hmmmm.....I wouldn't call it a driverless "bus"...it carries four passengers...perhaps a driverless car, shuttle or people carrier  You'd need hundreds of thousands of these to carry Londoners around in lol. Perhaps they'll make them bigger  |

It's a driverless vehicle called "Harry". I'm one of the lucky 100 people to test it out, having participated in earlier conceptual workshops. Security concerns make assumptions about how this type of vehicle interacts with pedestrians and road users. Besides, if Apple can make a phone that can't be hacked into without the help of intelligence officers and planes have been landing for a few years in autopilot without being hacked, I think the perceived risk of a vehicle being hacked is higher than the actual risk.

I don't like the idea of driverless vehicles, especially buses. But as cc2005 said it's not a bus as it only carries four people, it's more of a taxi with a route to follows. Plus I know this is a test but don't having a someone on it ready to stop the thing if something goes wrong defeat the point of it being driverless. I personally would walk rather than get on something without a driver but it still something that is very interesting and I will be keeping a close eye on its development. |

Its still got a long way to go before I trust it. |
