LUTZ Pathfinder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The LUTZ Pathfinder is a prototype autonomous microcar. The two-seater prototype pod has been built by Coventry-based RDM Group, and was first shown to the public in February 2015.

The LUTZ (Low-carbon Urban Transport Zone)[1] Pathfinder pod is part of the UK Government's Transport Systems Catapult Autodrive project, a £20 million project.[2]

Three pods were tested initially in Milton Keynes during 2015 to ensure that they can comply with the Highway Code.[3]
