Posted : 2021-04-28 16:06 Updated : 2021-04-28 16:06 Elizabeth Tower which contains Big Ben stands, right, near Parliament Square in London, April 27. AP-Yonhap The UK government on Wednesday became the first country to announce it will regulate the use of self-driving vehicles at slow speeds on motorways, with the first such cars possibly appearing on public roads as soon as this year. Britain s transport ministry said it was working on specific wording to update the country s highway code for the safe use of self-driving vehicle systems, starting with Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) ― which use sensors and software to keep cars within a lane, allowing them to accelerate and brake without driver input.

British government takes a first step toward allowing ‘self-driving’ cars on public roads CNBC 4/28/2021 Sam Shead The Department of Transport said Wednesday that it has set out how vehicles equipped with an automated lane-keeping system (ALKS) could legally be defined as self-driving. Such systems, which were first used in Japan, can help a vehicle to stay in its lane in slow-moving motorway traffic, while allowing the driver to safely take over when necessary. The government said the use of ALKS will be limited to speeds of up to 37 miles per hour on motorways. © Provided by CNBC LONDON The U.K. government announced Wednesday that the first types of self-driving cars could be on British roads by the end of 2021, paving the way for the nation to start catching up with the U.S. and other countries.

Plan for self-driving car legislation announced by UK Government

Date: 28 April 2021   |   Author: Sean Keywood Self-driving cars could be allowed on British roads for the first time later this year, in limited circumstances, according to the Department for Transport. It said automated lane keeping systems (ALKS) could be legalised, allowing drivers to hand over control to their vehicle. However, they would only be allowed on motorways, at speeds of up to 37mph, and the system would need to be able to safely return control to the driver when required. Today s announcement has been welcomed by the motor industry - but drawn criticism from safety organisation Thatcham Research, and from insurers.
