Driverless lorries to be trialled in UK


Driverless lorries are to be trialled in the UK, Chancellor George Osborne is expected to confirm in his Budget speech this month.

Trials later this year on the M6 in Cumbria will see the vehicles travel in convoy, with a driver in the leading lorry, the Times reported.

The tests will take place on a quiet stretch of the motorway, it added.

The Department for Transport confirmed it was planning trials of driverless "HGV platoons".

It added that it would announce more details "in due course".

The Times said the plans could result in platoons of up to 10 computer-controlled lorries being driven metres apart from each other.

It said the chancellor was preparing to fund the trials as part of plans to speed up lorry deliveries and cut congestion.
