Fulham students ride South America's first autonomous bus on jobs trip

A group of young people from Fulham have been getting a glimpse of the working world of the future, including a ride on South America's first autonomous bus, as part of a trip to Buenos Aires organised through the council.
The visit, which took place earlier this month, was designed to expose local students to careers they might not otherwise encounter, with autonomous and connected transport among the themes explored. Self-driving vehicles are increasingly part of the conversation in UK transport policy, and experiences like this aim to give young Londoners a head start in understanding where those industries are heading.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council has been running international learning opportunities for students as part of its broader push on skills and employment for young residents. Details on future trips and related programmes — including how young people can get involved — are available through the council's children and young people pages. The full story is on the council's website.
For parents or schools interested in similar opportunities, the council's education team is the first point of contact.
