Aurrigo claims ‘export’ first
Aurrigo International plc celebrate a major ‘export’ win as it deploys its autonomous transport technology in mainland Europe for the first time. The Coventry-based company, which recently celebrated its 1-year listing on AIM, will see its Auto-Shuttle vehicle take to the cobbled streets of Prague as part of the €275,820 EU-funded Living Lab for Autonomous Public Transport Project. Led by University College London (UCL), the cooperation between industry, municipalities and operators will see the autonomous vehicles run with a safety driver on board, while working towards a goal of using remote supervisor monitoring, signalling a new era in autonomy in
public transportation. Initially starting in the Czech capital, the project will also be running across Brno and Milton Keynes. www.aurrigo.com
