Driverless vehicles could be used to provide a shuttle service between Kirkwall’s airport and harbour. Ahead of a proposed trial, Orkney residents have been offered the chance to ride in a self-driving Auto-Pod in the town’s Crossie Crown Place on 9-10 February.

The project is being led by Urban Foresight and supported by Aurrigo and regional transport body Hitrans. According to the project team, 90% of airport journeys are made by private car with more than 160,000 passengers driving annually.
