Driverless company cars could be ready to go by 2021

Driverless cars could be on the roads by 2021.

Last week, Chancellor Philip Hammond outlined in his speech that he envisions the UK to be one of the first countries to allow “genuine driverless cars” within four years.

“Some would say that's a bold move, but we have to embrace these technologies if we want the UK to lead the next industrial revolution," he told the BBC.

When asked about the potential loss of jobs for drivers, Hammond said that the country could not “hide from change” and that the Government needs to upskill people “to take up new careers.”
