Driverless cars could be on UK roads by 2015
Government set to announce a number of measures for autonomous cars to be tested on UK roads
The Government has announced a raft of new measures to allow driverless cars to be tested on UK roads for the first time from 2015. Up until now they have only been able to be tested on private roads.
UK cities can also now bid for a share of a £10 million competition to host the driveless car trials. Up to three cities will be selected to begin trials from January 2015, with each project expected to last between 18 and 36 months.
The British public may still need some convincing, however. According to research from Churchill car insurance, 56 per cent of UK adults wouldn't purchase a driverless car, while one in four believe that they won't be safe. The biggest fear for the majority of people (60 per cent) is a malfunction of some kind.
