Britain’s car industry has welcomed a new Bill announced in the Queen's Speech that will help ensure the UK is in pole position in the development of self-driving vehicles.
The Queen said measures in the Modern Transport Bill would “ensure the UK is at forefront of technology for new forms of transport, including autonomous and electric vehicles”.
The Bill is intended to reduce red tape around new technology that will allow cars to be driven by on-board computers - so-called “autonomous driving” - and adapt the legal system to take into account issues such as insurance liability when a human is not in control.Nissan has said that from 2017 it will build its Qashqai SUVs equipped with self-driving technology at its giant Sunderland factory. Paul Willcox, the company’s European chairman, welcomed the plans in the Queen’s Speech.
