It was decided due to the restrictive measures due to the pandemic in the autonomous buses to carry a maximum of ten passengers. Anyone wishing to use the autonomous buses should state this in the application developed for this purpose.

This is the first time that autonomous buses will be tested in Britain in real conditions, ie in the normal traffic and while bicycles and pedestrians will move next to them. If the tests are successful and the vehicle proves to run efficiently and of course above all with absolute safety then it will be given the green light to start routes on busier roads. In this test phase of the operation of the autonomous buses, there will be people in them who know the operation of the vehicle so that if necessary they can undertake its driving.

"It is an important moment in the project for autonomous vehicles to enter our roads. We have successfully completed bus tests on various routes in the city center and on regional routes, but this is the first time that the vehicle will enter the environment of daily traffic on the roads ", says David Keane, executive of Aurrigo.
