REUTERS/Nick CareyLONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - A consortium including Hydrogen truck startup HVS and supermarket chain Asda said on Wednesday it had been awarded a 6.6 million pound ($8.1 million) UK government grant to develop autonomous hydrogen heavy goods vehicles. The third member of the consortium is UK self-driving technology firm Fusion Processing. "This project will feed back to the government's understanding of what the legislation should be to introduce safe self-driving vehicles," said HVS CEO Jawad Khursheed. The self-driving vehicle without a cab will be operated on test tracks by a remote human driver.
