Autonomous vehicle ride-sharing to merge with public transport

Backed by Innovate UK, the MERGE Greenwich consortium – led by global fleet operator Addison Lee Group and including partners Ford, TRL, Transport Systems Catapult, DG Cities and Immense Simulations – expects to develop a world first, custom-designed blueprint that demonstrates Britain’s mobility capability.

“The MERGE Greenwich partnership will pave the way for autonomous vehicles on the streets of London at scale, to provide significantly improved transport,” said Paul McCabe, Addison Lee Group’s Director of Mobility. “This will put London at the forefront of mobility development, globally.”
