New rules for what you can and can't do in a self-driving car have been revealed today.
Self-driving cars are meant to help reduce accidents by reducing human error, which the Department for Transport said is responsible for 88% of crashes on UK roads. The government has today (April 20) announced plans for the rules that motorists will have to obey once self-driving cars are approved for UK roads.
Under draft Highway Code changes, some motorists may be able to watch films from behind the wheel of a driverless car, but may have other rules they need to stick to. The plans come ahead of full regulations that will be introduced in 2025 and as it stands, there are no vehicles approved for self-driving in Britain, the Mirror reports.
