Driverless Cars Set to be Tested in Four English Cities


Greenwich, in south-east London, and Bristol will each host a project of their own, while Coventry and Milton Keynes will share a third.

  • The decision was announced by the quango Innovate UK, after George Osborne's Autumn Statement 
  • The chancellor also announced an additional £9m in funding for the work, adding to the £10m that had been announced in July.
  • The groups creating these machines will have to develop the technologies that will have to be built into the roads in order for the vehicles to navigate.
  • Funds for this project are still being collected, however.
  • The testing will begin on January 1st and last for about 18 to 36 months
