Self-drive

Motorists could legally allow their cars to “self-drive” on British motorways later this year – but only slowly, the government has announced.

By self-driving vehicles, we mean those listed as automated vehicles by the Secretary of State for Transport under the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018. (...) These vehicles are capable of safely driving themselves when the self-driving function is correctly turned on and the driver follows the manufacturer’s instructions.
