The GATEway Project, short for Greenwich Automated Transport Environment, involves autonomous shuttles in areas used by pedestrians and cyclists. /CFP Photo

The public was given the opportunity to test it for the first time on Tuesday. The vehicles can travel at around 16 kilometers per hour. /CFP Photo

All the participants in the study have already been selected following applications last year, according to reports. A member of staff is on board at all times in case of emergency. /CFP Photo
