The Auto-Shuttle will operate on a 25-minute city centre loop connecting Santander’s new UK HQ at Unity Place with centre:mk, the Theatre District and Station Square.

LivingLAPT is funded by EIT Urban Mobility and led by University College London (UCL). The Europe-wide research trials have already been operating in Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic and are said to be the longest and most geographically complex of its kind.

Coventry-based Aurrigo International first ran its vehicles in Milton Keynes in 2014. More recently, the company took part in 5G trials in the city.

In a statement, David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International, said: “We are delighted to be returning to Milton Keynes to move the game on in autonomous electric vehicle deployments in real-world situations.

“The city was one of the first to work with us on trialling driverless vehicles…and we appreciate working with a forward-thinking location that is keen to demonstrate the benefits that can be brought to the citizens of Milton Keynes and the UK by a self-driving electric vehicle like ours.”
