UK to allow driverless cars to be tested on British motorways
London
CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer George Osborne will give the green light for driverless cars to be tested on UK motorways, helping to make the technology available to consumers by the end of the decade.
The government also aims to remove regulatory barriers so that driverless cars can be used on British roads within the current parliamentary term, the Treasury said in a statement on Saturday. Trials will be held on local roads this year, with test drives allowed on motorways and strategic roads for the first time in 2017.
