With the recent reports of the air pollution we are creating causing yet more damage to our environment, it is even more important that we now look at ways we can travel that reduce our carbon footprint.
In Milton Keynes it was announced that driverless cars will be tested for the first time in a UK town after £1.5m was made available from the government. These cars use the latest cutting edge low carbon technology and the electric-powered pods can be booked via a smartphone app and will be able to accommodate two passengers.
Is this the way on transport in the future? With more and more electric cars and buses and now these taxi type vehicles it appears that way.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said: “By 2050, very few – if any – new cars will be powered solely by the traditional internal combustion engines, so it is important that the UK car industry is at the cutting edge of low carbon technologies.”
