This morning.
Ireland’s first driverless public transport vehicle, the EZ10 Driverless Shuttle, takes a trip along Dublin’s Docklands.
Taking the shuttle were the head of Dublin City Council’s Smart City Programme Jamie Cudden, CEO of Civic Group Neil Cunningham, and CEO of Dublin City Council Owen Keegan (middle pic) and Gianna Goforth, aged four, from Dublin, Green Party councillor Ciarán Cuffe and Jamie Green, from Ashbourne (above).

Great way to take jobs away.
doesn’t matter – we’ll all be on universal basic income soon, swanning around half-sober on EZ10s
It’s not a sentient being. There are obviously jobs connected to it’s upkeep and maintenance.
It’s turtles all the way down.
The greasy tracksuited white sock brigade would have these ruined in half a day. Stoopid pr exercise. Hollow noncesense.
You could always try a suit for a change.
Don’t be so hard on yourself…
They’ll have to put security guards on them, what’s the point..
This is how they’re spending our money? FFS! We’ll see how long it lasts
The Dublin bikes will all be robbed and chucked in the Liffey.
You need a credit card to unlock one.
They’ll steal all our credit cards and rob all the Dublin bikes and throw them in the Liffey!
Thankfully greasy tracksuited people don’t steal things in Dublin, phew.
that’s a very fupping expensive milk float
if you could come up with a list of 10 things to spend money on for the city would this be on it, really?
we’ve lost the plot, its a two fingers to all of us from these tools & a frivolous depressing waste of money
next up – a ski lift from Google St to Poolbeg
The least they could do along the docks is remove those bloody temp steel railing which have been up for the past 2 years on the south docks across from the IFSC.
Also, the road works barriers at the end of Grafton Street! What’s that all about?
Yeah, the remains of the luas works that’s just left there to rot.
Work there is ongoing
Rich tourists from US/Germany/China etc l getting off a cruise ship would fork out big time for a go on one of these yokes
Its only working for the week, aint it?
The way of the future.
And not a seatbelt in sight
If you ever go on a Dublin Bus or a Luas you may be in for a shock.
In the manner of Dubs, (which I’m not), giving landmarks etc a novel alternative nickname:
How about Wanderly Wagon?
Driving on the foothpath? It might hit a cyclist.
Sure cyclists are the mostest bestest people on the roads and never break a light or do anything bad at all. One must not talk Ill of them on broadsheet or their muscular behinds will sense it and whinge.
I bet this thing is only marginally faster than walking and it was a joke, because threads here frequently end up with the same complaints about cyclists. There should be some sort of corollary to Godwins law for Broadsheet because threads here frequently go off the rails long before we get to calling people Hitler.
In any case the number of deaths on Irish roads is unacceptably high.
The chances of cyclists hurting anyone but themselves is low.
Monorail?
Monorail!
