Good news for fans of autonomous cars. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne used today"s budget to announce government plans to "establish the UK as a global centre for excellence in connected and autonomous vehicles". How exactly? Well, the budget promises regulatory barriers will be "swept away" so trials of autonomous cars on public roads can begin as early as 2017. Plans are also afoot to build a so-called "connected corridor" between London and Dover. Set to cost 15million, it will allow compatible vehicles to wirelessly communicate with one another and the roadway itself.Remember, pretty much every mainstream car company (and Google) worth its salt is working on self-driving tech". At the Geneva motor show, Nissan told us it plans to start selling its more mainstream products with fully-autonomous technology in 2020. Tesla"s Autopilot continues to astound, and all it takes to make the new Merc" E-Class more or less completely autonomous is a software tweak.
