'We’re excited to see the public reaction': Harlander offers last mile connectivity from public transport networks to businesses, tourist attractions and education and leisure facilities

News Letter

Northern Ireland’s first self-driving vehicle, Harlander, has officially begun its pilot in the Titanic Quarter.  From today (Tuesday), the shuttle will run every 20 minutes between Titanic Halt Railway Station and Catalyst.  The eight-seater vehicle, which has a safety operator on board, offers last mile connectivity from public transport networks to businesses, tourist attractions and education and leisure facilities.  Now open to the public as a free of charge service, this pilot project will run until September and is an initial step to fully driverless transport systems in the UK.
