Autonomous and connected cars are being promoted by Government because of the expected efficiency and safety gains, according to the head of driverless cars for the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills.
Speaking at the BVRLA's annual technology conference earlier this month, Michael Talbot outlined the advantages the Government expects to achieve with the uptake of driverless vehicles:
1. Reduced congestion and traffic jams will improve traffic flow by 80%.
2. Fuel efficiency will improve by between 23-39% due to synchronised traffic flow.
3. Commute times will fall and help productivity.
4. Those unable to drive will be better able to travel.
5. A reduction in car collisions because 90% of all crashes are due to human error.
