Stop the introduction of driverless vehicles

Closed 30 signatures

What the petition asks

Driverless vehicles on our road system make a mockery of the training every driver in Britain has received, and of our Highway Code.

We believe robotic systems will not be able to adequately perform on often poor condition roads, with varying traffic and weather conditions.
Driverless vehicles also raise serious questions about legal liability, and insurance ,in the event of an incident.

The Government should stop the introduction of driverless vehicles.
