According to a report posted yesterday (13 April) on the Local Transport Today website (LTT is "the authoritative, independent journal for transport decision makers"):
"The government has awarded £31m to 24 connected and autonomous vehicle projects.
One
project to receive funds is the Cambridge autonomous bus system
feasibility study, which could lead to driverless minibuses operating
over part of the Cambridgeshire guided busway."
So it looks as though one of the Smart Cambridge projects is going to receive government backing to evaluate its feasibility.
If you want to learn more about what Smart Cambridge is investigating, there's a detailed Cambridge News report to answer all your questions. (Admittedly, I'm guessing this is the same project as the one that HMG is investing in, although in the 4 March CN report it says quite clearly that the feasibility study is already being funded - by the City Deal and Cambridge Ahead. Puzzling.)
