Cars, as we know them, have been the very foundation of our transport system for the last hundred years, but all of that has recently been changing.
With 1.3 million road traffic deaths per year worldwide, will the dawn of the driverless electric car improve road safety and transform lives?
There are many features built into our cars which we now take for granted; such as – parking sensors, cruise control, sensors on our windscreen wipers to detect rain and adaptive cruise control to name just a few. These are all part of driver assist technologies and are the first small steps on the road to full autonomy.
The Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 received Royal assent on the 19th July 2018.
This is a complex piece of legislation which seeks to set the regulatory framework to enable the next generation of transport technology to be invented, designed, produced and used in the UK.
As well as car manufacturers and the UK Government investing in autonomous vehicle design – Google parent company has recently announced a further $2.5bn funding into self-driving technology.
