Five self-driving buses are to take to the roads as part of a new pilot scheme by the Government. The buses will operate in Scotland from spring.
The single-decker buses will transport passengers between Ferrytoll park and ride in Fife and Edinburgh Park train and tram station via the Forth Road Bridge. Bus operator Stagecoach said it will later be extended to Dunfermline city centre.
The services will be "captained" meaning they will have a single member of staff on board to help passengers with boarding, buying tickets and queries. The project is one of seven autonomous passenger and freight programmes to win a share of an £81million government fund.
