Self driving car guidance to be put in Highway Code
hands-free driving in vehicles with lane-keeping technology on congested motorways would be permitted.
Currently available technology is 'assistive', which means drivers should always retain control, the DfT said. She also claimed their use "revolutionise the way we travel, making our future journeys greener, safer and more reliable". Eventually, self-driving technology could "improve road safety across Britain by reducing human error, which is a contributory factor in 88% of all recorded road collisions," the government said.
