Testing driverless cars on public roads has been given the green light: this driverless pod will be tested in Milton Keynes

DID you know this? It won’t matter if you don’t have a driving licence you can still drive!

As long as it’s a driverless car, of course… And that’s official from government ministers.

Once driverless cars go on sale in the UK you will not require a licence to operate one.

Driverless cars might seem a scary thought, but internet search giant Google is already undertaking fleet trials of driverless cars, and in the UK driverless car trials have just been given the green light.

The benefits of driverless cars are many.

Driverless cars are the future

Network, the specialist franchisees of LeasePlan offering car leasing facilities to SMEs, says that not only does this give less able people the ability to travel, but it also promises to offer safer driving thanks to the use of sophisticated safety technology. Considering that stats show that as many as 90 per cent of collisions are due to human error, accidents on the road are likely to plummet with the growing presence of these vehicles.
