#Britain's Transport Department has given go-ahead to test driverless cars on public roads According to a statement released by Britain's Department for Transport (Dft), the government has given the requisite go-ahead for the testing of driverless vehicles on public roads. As a result, driverless vehicle testing will begin in Britain from next summer. The Dft statement has revealed that driverless vehicle testing has been approved by the government on the condition that there should be a driver present in the vehicles to take control of the vehicles in case of an emergency. The testing of driverless vehicles on public roads in Britain has been approved by the government after a review carried out into driverless cars revealed that there were no legal barriers with regard to the testing of the technology in the country. With the go-ahead been given to driverless vehicle testing in Britain, the government is now working on a code of practice for driverless cars. The code will likely be published in the spring, and the testing of driverless vehicles across the country will start in the summer. About the government approval to testing of driverless vehicles, Britain Transport Minister Claire Perry said:""I want Britain to be at the forefront of this exciting new development, to embrace a technology that could transform our roads and open up a brand new route for global investment
