From 17 to 19 November 2015, UKTI will bring together 16 UK businesses and 4 cities to display British world leading innovation and technology with a special focus on this year’s main theme: intelligent transport and mobility – the use of new and emerging technologies to transport people and goods more smartly and efficiently.

Also featured will be the Transport Catapult – an innovation centre established to promote Intelligent Mobility – who will present the first UK self-driving car named Lutz Pathfinder. Built and designed by Coventry’s RDM Group, as part of the Autodrive project, the car is large enough to accommodate two passengers with luggage.
