    Transport Secretary, Mark Harper, said:

    Britain stands at the threshold of an automotive revolution and this new law is a milestone moment for our self-driving industry, which has the potential to change the way we travel forever.

    While this doesn’t take away people’s ability to choose to drive themselves, our landmark legislation means self-driving vehicles can be rolled out on British roads as soon as 2026, in a real boost to both safety and our economy.

    You can be sure they won't boost safety and they'll bully other road users out of the way just like current drivers do.

    How else is a car supposed to work in a city, if it can't bully, intimidate and take all the available space?
