Finally, they saw the Milton Keynes driverless shuttle bus, and heard of challenges regarding safety and guidance.
On June 13, the group held their monthly meeting at Royston Golf Club, with lunch and a talk by Paul Barwick on espionage - entitled 'Gareth Williams and the Mystery of the Body in the Bag'.
The Probus Club are retired professional and business men who come together to meet new friends and expand their interests. The next lunch meeting is planned for July 18.
