Driverless Cars To Be Allowed On Britain's Motorways

Those who live in the UK are you ready for cars that move and drive it-self without you manipulating it?

On budget to be announce on Wednesday driverless cars will be allowed on Britain's motorways next year.

Tests will begin on a small number of roads within months before pilots are carried out on 70mph carriageways later this year.

The first trials are expected to be carried out on roads in Milton Keynes, Bristol, Coventry and Greenwich.

The Chancellor believes automated vehicles could lead to the most "fundamental" change to transport since the invention of the petrol engine.

He hopes they will revolutionise motoring by 2020, and put the UK at the forefront of the new technology.

Mr Osborne said: "At a time of great uncertainty in the global economy, Britain must take bold decisions now to ensure it leads the world when it comes to new technologies and infrastructure.

"That's what my Budget next week will seek to do."

He added: "Naturally we need to ensure safety, and that's what the trials we are introducing will test.

"If successful, we could see driverless cars available for sale and on Britain's roads, boosting UK jobs and productivity."

Driverless cars, which can alert motorists to accidents and traffic jams, could eventually prevent 95% of crashes, according to the Treasury.
