The House of Lords Science & Technology Committee has launched an inquiry into autonomous vehicles.
The committee states that UK has the potential to become a world leader in developing, producing and deploying autonomous vehicles. Its inquiry will collect evidence on the potential uses and benefits of autonomous vehicles in contexts such as road transport, farming and space exploration.
The committee is seeking written evidence from as wide an audience as possible and across a whole range of possible applications from cars to public transport.
Questions:
Chair of the committee, Lord Selborne, said: “Rapid progress is being made in the development of autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are being developed for a range of different purposes and have the potential to bring great benefits across a range of different sectors, for example in farming.
“We will examine what the government is doing to support research into developing autonomous vehicles in the UK, as well as the real world implications as these vehicles start to appear on the roads and in the work place. If the UK is to be at the forefront of this transport revolution, investment into research is vital to ensure the technology is perfected, allowing the public to embrace the use of autonomous vehicles.”
The deadline for written submission is 26 October.
