System to be easily deployable, without significant reliance on infrastructure. If the initial unit trial is successful, it would be widened to include several UK dispersed locations using a 3 phased approach. First phase would be to test the concept at one location using a handful of cars completing a limited mileage. Phase two would expand the trial with an additional site and phase three would be an uplift to 3-5 sites. Trial to be limited to time (approx. 6mths).
