The UK government has announced that driverless cars will be allowed on public roads from January next year.
It also invited cities to compete to host one of three trials of the tech, which would start at the same time.
In addition, ministers ordered a review of the UK's road regulations to provide appropriate guidelines.
The Department for Transport had originally pledged to let self-driving cars be trialled on public roads by the end of 2013.
Business Secretary Vince Cable revealed the details of the new plan at a research facility belonging to Mira, an automotive engineering firm based in the Midlands.
"Today's announcement will see driverless cars take to our streets in less than six months, putting us at the forefront of this transformational technology and opening up new opportunities for our economy and society," he said.

Only a few questions on this really....
No driver = no insurance?
No driver = no license?
No driver = can we all get pished and let the car drive and not get stopped?
Who gets sued when an accident occurs?
If these are automatic then no speeding taxation, where will the government make money from speeding cars?
I can see this is well thought out so far *shrug*
My master plan is to live forever..... going to plan so far
Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.
No good deed goes unpunished....

Will it be possible to dispatch car for weekly shop, while I rest on sofa,,,,will an app become available for this and other chores???????
Its a real clammy govt failure! let them bring the driverless rules I can then see every speeding ticket and other offence being challenged.
No officer I wasn't in charge of the car! The electronics took over control. Its already been proven that a cars ECU can be hacked to effect steering, brakes and ignition, so with this law change it would shift the responsibility to proving if you were in charge of the car at the time of the incident. So now cars can legally drive themselves your not responsible
All we need now is a ECU remap hack to indicate car is self driving.......all the time!!
interesting article

Driverless cars are coming to Direland in 2016 but the fact that they have no driver on board means that they will have to use the right hand side of the road for six months.
Should be fun.
Will a driverless car tow another? That will be a friendly car.
