Legalisation of automated cars – it has begun!

Before the news broke some months ago, Google had been testing their driverless cars secretly in California with very few hitches.

However, many motorists won’t be expecting these vehicles’ introduction onto showroom floors for a long time yet. Electric cars had a hard enough time getting accepted by the wider public and they’re still driven, reassuringly for some, by human beings.

Yet, the state of Nevada in America seems to be getting ready for the automated hybrid cars’ arrival onto the roads already.

Legislation which would allow the driverless cars to legally circulate on Nevada’s roads, having been purchased by private owners just like “normal” vehicles, is being given the thumbs up by the state.

One bill amendment involves the licensing and testing of automated cars and the other amendment, which has yet to be passed, would allow for driverless car owners to be exempt from texting behind the wheel offences.

Who knows, since Nevada is gearing up for automated vehicles, maybe they’ll be on the roads sooner than we think.

We can’t wait – it will mean longer lie-ins in the mornings because we’ll be able to do our make-up and hair in the car.
