Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Self driving car guidance to be put in Highway Code
Sooner or later, you’ll be able to drive your car hands-free. Actually, the technology is already available and has been tested to prove its safety and practicality. It’s just a matter of regulatory approval as to under what conditions autonomous driving can be used and needs to be disengaged. In the UK, hands-free driving will soon be permitted on congested motorways provided that the driver can take control of the vehicle whenever required. The driver can watch videos that are projected on the driving monitor, which could immediately turn back to the driving mode when necessary. That’s nice especially when the traffic is jammed during rush hours. But the driver still won’t be permitted to use a mobile phone because it won’t tell them when to resume manual driving. What a pity! But rules will change accordingly to the technology.
Enjoy reading the article and think about the luxury of hands-free driving!
