The pods are made by local manufacturer Aurrigo and are being tested in a mock street scene. The trials are part of the UK government-backed Autodrive project, which unites businesses, local authorities and academic institutions attempting to bring autonomous technology to the country. Autonomous vehicles are expected to reduce the number of road accidents. Jaguar Land Rover is working with psychologists on these trials, as it attempts to understand how vehicle behaviour can improve human confidence in the new technology. The psychological barriers to realising autonomous driving technology are now often regarded as greater than the legal barriers - a point that BMW board director Peter Schwarzenbauer discussed with Dezeen in an interview last year. The figures have appeared to worsen following recent fatal crashes. Statistics from the American Automobile Association show two-thirds of people say they'd feel less safe sharing the road with a driverless vehicle while walking or cycling.
