The government is looking at making "Hands-free driving" legal, here in the UK from next spring.
The like of Tesla Autopilot, which features automated lane-keeping systems will be permitted.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders claims it could cut accidents. ALKS technology has been approved by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), of which the UK is a member. It set rules to allow the system in motorway traffic jams, at speeds of up to 37mph. The technology, however, could be given the go-ahead for speeds of up to 70mph in the UK, according to the DfT, potentially making long stretches of tedious motorway driving a thing of the past.
