Full Self-Driving Cars Are Still A Long Way Off – Here's Why

A few days ago, the UK Department of Transport announced a consultation on Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS). This led to media outlets such as the BBC arguing that hands-free driving might be legal in the UK as soon as Spring 2021. But some went further, claiming this was a step towards self-driving cars by next year. Automated safety features are a significant part of cutting-edge car technology, so a major feature in most electric vehicles, although far from exclusively for EVs. Tesla TSLA in particular makes a lot of noise about its self-driving abilities, and contender Lucid is claiming it will go further with its Air.
