Government commits to self-driving technology

The government has announced it has signed a new partnership with Wayve, a British company that is developing self-driving vehicle technologies.

The partnership will focus on shared research that will support the ongoing development and deployment of automated vehicles.

It is hoped that the partnership will act as a catalyst for new investment, skilled jobs and long-term growth across the UK car industry.

A Memorandum of Understanding sets out how the Department for Business and Trade and Wayve will collaborate on research helping to take self-driving vehicles from prototypes through to commercial reality.
