The self-driving delivery van that can be 'built in four hours' - and it will hit UK streets next year

A fleet of self-driving delivery vans could be set to hit the UK's roads as early as next year. The electric vehicles could dramatically cut harmful emissions, and would be ready for the switch to driverless technology. What's more, the makers claim the basic design means they can be built by one person in just four hours. Unveiled at Wired magazine's 2016 conference in London this month, the'autonomous ready' electric vehicles could be the delivery trucks of the future. Made by Oxfordshire-based company Charge, the vehicles will use ultra-lightweight composite materials, reducing their weight.
