Road users will be wary of the introduction of driverless cars, motoring groups said today.

The AA said Business Secretary Vince Cable was today expected to confirm that the first trials of driverless cars would start in January 2015.

The RAC said: "We suspect it will be difficult for people to come to terms with giving up control of their vehicle to a computer."

The survey showed only a small minority of drivers were eager to take their hands off the wheel and let the car take over.

Those most keen were drivers aged 25-34, while those least keen were pensioners.

Great idea - to keep older drivers, hopefully, Safely mobile.
No more waiting for a Hospital Car or, maybe an Ambulance just hop in & enter the destination postcode,  :eek:
