Royal Society SummerScience Media Coverage


Our exhibit "Trusted Autonomous Vehicles" and the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition have received roughly 12,000 visitors. More than 1,100 visitors have participated in our driving test simulator and a much larger number has tried to get a pedestrian run over by our self-driving car. We have handed out over 3,200 raffle tickets and given away 70 remote controlled cars (one car per hour).

We have also been interviewed by different members of press.
