The Queen announced a new transport bill in Parliament yesterday, unveiling plans that will allow drivers in the UK to legally insure autonomous vehicles in the near future. The reforms are designed to allow the testing and purchasing of autonomous cars in the UK, and when passed, will be the first legislation of its kind to cover an entire country. In order for this technology to become more widely available, it is important that we have proper regulation around it.
