Pod squad: how Coventry's RDM Group is shaping the exciting future of 'first and last mile' transport

摘要

The unassuming, scruffy-looking industrial estate from which it operates is an unlikely looking site for the birthplace of a transport revolution. But it's entirely possible that in years to come Coventry's RDM Group will be regarded as one of the pioneers in the world of'first and last mile'transportation.The company, which began life producing wiring harnesses for Jaguar Land Rover, has been making a name for itself in this emerging field, firstly with the development of a two-seater driverless pod for the Government's Lutz pathfinder project, and more recently with the design and production of the fleet of fourseater autonomous pods currently being tested in pedestrianised areas of Milton Keynes as part of Autodrive.
