Motion in the name of Councillor Paddy Smyth
“Given the disruption, both civic and economic, caused by the Luas Driver's Strikes in recent months, this committee calls on the new Minister for Transport, the National Transport Authority, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and TransDev, to 'future proof' all new Luas rolling stock so that it is capable of being fitted with self driving software.
Similar technology already exists on buses in San Francisco, Lausanne (Switzerland), Trikala (Greece), Zhengzhou (China) and Wageningen (The Netherlands).”
