Self-driving cars could soon be covered by your INSURANCE

In a bid to ensure that self-driving cars are safe when they hit the roads, the UK government has put together a new proposal. The proposal states that insurance cover for self-driving cars must offer protection for both times when the driver is in control, and when the car is in autonomous mode. Ministers hope that if the bill is passed, it will put the UK at the forefront of the modern transport revolution.
