UK updating road laws to allow the use of self-driving cars

The US isn’t the only country making Mail Online that he has started talking with the Department for Transport to help British companies develop their own self-driving cars, with efforts currently underway in Oxford.

Willetts’ plans have been publicly shared just a few short weeks after Google revealed its in-house developed autonomous vehicle that is free of traditional automobile hardware like a steering wheel, mirrors and pedals. So far only a handful of states in the US have given approval for self-driving cars and since these laws are so new, it’s likely that we may see some adjustments made along the way. Willetts says there’s already a British-made cheaper version of the driverless car compared to Google’s offering, but it’s currently in the process of being prepped for use in additional environments.
