Not in our life time will we see driverless cars on the road in the UK.

Who would be held accountable if the car run a red light? Failed to stop? Turned wrong way down a one way street? Mistook a white trailer unit for the sky and ploughed into another vehicle?

Driver assisted is already here and works well, but driverless? Never in our lifetime!

Not even trains, trams or airplaines are there yet.

Before driverless we will have driver assisted. We have a type of this already, Volvo has pilot assist which locks on to the car in front and accelerates and decelerates accordingly. Driver assisted cars make a lot of sense in terms of keeping traffic moving on busy roads.

Nissan will be coming out with a driver assisted Qashqai within the next year.
Big inroads are being made into this technology by all the manufacturers.
