Topic Reading-Vol.849-8/8/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
UK to allow driverless cars on public roads in January
Do you think you’ll see cars driving on a busy street without a driver soon? Or if not that extreme, what about cars are driven not by a human driver but by an onboard computer?
It seems that some places in the world are competing to host such autonomous driving tests. Following the suits by California and Japan that allowed Google and Nissan to test drive driverless vehicles on the public road respectively, the UK now is trying to have three local governments to host such tests. Local governments seem to be interested in such opportunities because it could bring in new businesses and investment.
When do you predict to see driverless cars or attention-free drivers in the driver’s seat on the road and delivery drones hovering in the air?
Enjoy reading and learning what sorts of driving tests are on the road to the future.
