New driving law: Rules allowing driverless technology could be introduced by end of 2020
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Driving law changes for extra use of Automated Lane Keeping Software (ALKS) installed in brand new cars could be cleared by the end of 2020.  The DfT has called for evidence from those across the motoring industry to see how the ALKS system will fit into the current road network before looking at whether any existing legislation will need to be changed. 

She said: “Automated technology could make driving safer, smoother and easier for motorists and the UK should be the first country to see these benefits, attracting manufacturers to develop and test new technologies. 

“The UK’s work in this area is world leading and the results from this Call for Evidence could be a significant step forward for this exciting technology.”

As part of the assessment, the DfT will also ask for views on whether the system can be used across all British roads at speeds of up to 70mph.

Once the industry experts have given their opinions on the new scheme, a public consultation on the final details will become available. 

The use of ALKS technology was approved by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in June 2020. 

As the UK is a member, the new technology is likely to be made available in all new cars entering the UK market from Spring 2021. 

Mike Hawes, Chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has predicted that lane keeping technology will be “life-changing”. 

He has also predicted the new tool could save almost  4,000 lives over the next decade and prevent over 45,000 serious crashes. 

He said: “Automated technologies for vehicles, of which automated lane keeping is the latest, will be life-changing, making our journeys safer and smoother than ever before and helping prevent some 47,000 serious accidents and save 3,900 lives over the next decade.

“This advanced technology is ready for roll out in new models from as early as 2021, so today’s announcement is a welcome step in preparing the UK for its use, so we can be among the first to grasp the benefits of this road safety revolution.”
