Driverless cars are getting public tests in four UK cities from today. In Greenwich, south London, driverless passenger shuttles from Gateway will be ferrying people around the North Greenwich plaza by the O2 Arena. In Coventry and Milton Keynes LUTZ pathfinder pods will be driving around the pedestrianised roads. BAE systems' Wildcat is set to be tested in Bristol.
