Learning Outcomes:

Driverless cars used to be the sort of thing you’d see in sci-fi films - but in 2017 they’re becoming a reality. Autonomous car technology is already being developed by the likes of Lexus, BMW and Mercedes, and Tesla’s driverless Autopilot system has been tested on UK roads. This session will help you to understand the current position in the UK and be able to ask any questions you may have about autonomous vehicles.
