For the first time, driver less cars will soon be making their way through the streets of the UK. Slowly.
The electric powered "pods" can carry 2 people, and will operate on designated pathways in the town of Milton Keynes, north of London.
Twenty driver-operated pods will be tested by 2015, before a fleet of 100 fully-automated vehicles are rolled out two years later.
The pods will travel at about 12 miles per hour and use sensors to avoid obstacles.
Similar vehicles have been operating at Heathrow Airport, taking passengers between the terminal and car park, since 2011.
It's the first time driverless cars will be used in a pedestrianized area in the U.K.
