WIRED’s need-to-know guide to driverless car testing in the UK
All the latest driverless car news in the UK and worldwide
- 24 Jul 2017
The UK has grand plans for driverless cars. The government wants the country to be “at the forefront” of self-driving cars and it believes the industry in the UK will be worth £28 billion in the next seventeen years.

As a result, proposals for autonomous car insurance laws have been created; there are codes of practice for the testing of autonomous vehicles; and numerous trials have popped up across the country.
All the autonomous vehicles and the technologies within them that are being tested in the UK rank differently on the levels of self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are categorised on six abilities – from no automation, to fully automated. Find out what the levels of automation for cars are here.

Many of the self-driving car tests taking place in the UK are being conducted by large manufacturers. One of these taking part is Volvo. The hard has exposed it is planning to put its autonomous vehicles on the road in West London during 2017. This will be as part of the Drive Me trial and involve an adapted XC90. The 4×4 vehicles have already been trialled in Gothenburg, Sweden and involved members of the public who have volunteered to be driven around.

Humans are an autonomous car’s fattest problem. The fresh Audi A8 has a solution
University of Oxford spinout Oxbotica is providing hardware for a number of the trials around the UK but one of the most ambitious is set to happen in its own backyard. The rigid, as part of the Driven consortium, is going to use its vehicles on the roads inbetween Oxford and London.
“Driven will perform driverless trials in both urban and motorway settings, leading to a fully autonomous journey from London to Oxford,” the group says. The test is due to take place in two thousand nineteen and has £8.6 million in funding behind it.
Nuneaton/Coventry
A Jaguar Land Rover, Ford and Tata Motors collaboration, in a scheme called Autodrive, has demonstrated how vehicles can communicate to pass on information about what lies on the road ahead. Initial tests have been finished in Nuneaton and the systems will be tested on public streets in Coventry and Milton Keynes later in 2017.
Autodrive comprises of three main systems: an emergency vehicle warning technology, intersection collision warning, and in-vehicle signage. All of the systems work in a similar way; the car alerts a driver, either using sound or visual photos, about the upcoming conditions.

Jaguar Landrover
Jaguar Landrover is testing a level four autonomous vehicle, it has been exposed. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is able to, at least in theory, treat itself in almost all situations. A human driver is still needed to sit behind the wheel in case anything goes wrong but the vehicle is being tested away from public roads at the rock hard’s test site near Nuneaton. According to AutoDrive, the vehicle is able to navigate roundabouts and complicated junctions.
Milton Keynes

The grid-like system of Milton Keynes’ roads makes it ideal for self-driving car tests. But before the vehicles are put on the roads they’re being tested on the pavements of the city. Since October two thousand sixteen puny pods puny pods have been run around the city’s shopping area.

Greenwich
The London Borough has been the scene for a number of self-driving trials. As part of the GATEway scheme it’s planned there’ll be four test trials of different types of autonomous vehicles.

Most recently, the Oxbotica technology being used has been adapted to fit in an autonomous ‘milk float’ that’s delivered shopping to those living in a Woolwich estate. Around one hundred shopping deliveries have been made during a two week test.
Beckton, London
Nissan has tested its autonomous Leaf vehicle on London’s streets. The vehicle, which is guided by radars, lasers, and cameras, was tested around East London’s Beckton. As the car makes turnings in the roads its onboard navigation systems use speakers to inform the passengers of its plans.
According to The Guardian not everything went sleekly with the Leaf’s tests. It had problems at roundabouts – with Nissan’s staff member having to grab the steering wheel and hit the violates.

The test period is due to run for three years and primarily will use the BAE Systems Wildcat autonomous jeep. It has been in testing since the Summer of two thousand sixteen and will proceed to be used until 2019.

Not all autonomous cars are being designed to carry people. The UK based Roborace is developing a self-driving racing car that’s planned to be used in a global series, alongside Formula E.

University of Oxford spinout Oxbotica is providing hardware for a number of the trials around the UK. These include working with shopping delivery stiff Ocado to create an autonomous shopping delivery system, trialled in Greenwich.
Oxford to London
As part of Oxbotica’s work, it is attempting to run a large scale driving demonstration on the UK’s motorways inbetween Oxford and London.
Supported by £8.9m in funding, the scheme has created the vehicles it will use (pictured above) and plans to drive from Oxford to London in 2019. Until then it will test the vehicle on a test track during 2017, then commence closed road trials in Oxfordshire at the commence of 2018. By June 2018, the consortium hopes to have built six cars and be testing them alongside other road users.

Initial tests have been finished in Nuneaton and the systems will be tested on public streets in Coventry and Milton Keynes later in 2017.
Autodrive comprises of three main systems: an emergency vehicle warning technology, intersection collision warning, and in-vehicle signage. All of the systems work in a similar way; the car alerts a driver, either using sound or visual pictures, about the upcoming conditions.
Jaguar Landrover
Jaguar Landrover is testing a level four autonomous vehicle, it has been exposed. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is able to, at least in theory, treat itself in almost all situations. A human driver is still needed to sit behind the wheel in case anything goes wrong but the vehicle is being tested away from public roads at the rigid’s test site near Nuneaton. According to AutoDrive, the vehicle is able to navigate roundabouts and complicated junctions.

The UK has grand plans for driverless cars. The government wants the country to be “at the forefront” of self-driving cars and it believes the industry in the UK will be worth £28 billion in the next seventeen years.

As a result, proposals for autonomous car insurance laws have been created; there are codes of practice for the testing of autonomous vehicles; and numerous trials have popped up across the country.
All the autonomous vehicles and the technologies within them that are being tested in the UK rank differently on the levels of self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are categorised on six abilities – from no automation, to fully automated. Find out what the levels of automation for cars are here.

University of Oxford spinout Oxbotica is providing hardware for a number of the trials around the UK. These include working with shopping delivery rock hard Ocado to create an autonomous shopping delivery system, trialled in Greenwich.
Oxford to London
As part of Oxbotica’s work, it is attempting to run a large scale driving demonstration on the UK’s motorways inbetween Oxford and London.
Supported by £8.9m in funding, the scheme has created the vehicles it will use (pictured above) and plans to drive from Oxford to London in 2019. Until then it will test the vehicle on a test track during 2017, then embark closed road trials in Oxfordshire at the embark of 2018. By June 2018, the consortium hopes to have built six cars and be testing them alongside other road users.
