A new law may see a whole new type of vehicle land on British roads in just a couple of years
A new driving law is set to have a significant impact on all British roads in just a couple of years.
Automated vehicles are also expected to improve road safety by reducing human error - which contributes to 88 per cent of road collisions. The law also provides a legal framework for who is liable for AV's. Paul Newman, Founder and CTO of Oxa, said: "The immense work put in by DfT, Law Commissions and CCAV in crafting the Automated Vehicles Bill has helped it pass into law with the strongest cross-party backing. We now have autonomous vehicle legislation, which is more comprehensive in scope and clearer in its requirements than in any other country.
"Self-driving technology promises a safer, smarter and more sustainable future of transport. There’s still some way to go with secondary legislation before we can reap the full benefits of self-driving vehicles in the UK, but we are confident the government will prioritise these next steps so this technology can be deployed as soon as possible".
