Self-driving vehicles could be on UK roads by 2025 under new plans unveiled by the Government. The rollout will be boosted by investment of £100 million.
Some cars, coaches and lorries with self-driving features could even be operating on motorways in the next year, the Government said. The Department for Transport said the self-driving industry could create up to 38,000 jobs and be worth £42 billion.
The plans will see new legislation introduced to allow for the safe wider rollout of self-driving vehicles by 2025. They will be backed by £34 million worth of research to support safety developments to inform new laws.
