UK autonomous vehicle trials to receive £25 million grant

Three autonomous vehicle projects are set to receive backing from a share of a £25 million government fund, as the UK edges closer to seeing self-driving cars on its roads. The new cars are set to'revolutionise' the way Brits travel across the country and could even help to improve transport services for those who struggle to access public transport. All of the new projects will include social behavioural research in order to understand how driverless technology can be seamlessly integrated into society. The findings will then be applied to the development for future autonomous service models. Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark is set to announce the public trials in Oxford, after trying a self-driving vehicle firsthand, which is being tested around the city.
