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 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.
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,

#Sweet source for aviation biofuel Researchers have identified a new way to produce aviation fuel from sugarcane biomass that could deliver substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Biofuel sweetspot"We've identified a new route of chemistry with its source from sugars in sugarcane plus some of the so-called waste material called bagasse"
The development of a reliable biofuel that can be scaled up to a level that be used by the world's commercial airlines has proved somewhat elusive.
and as space on an aircraft is at a premium, and you'd like to pack in as much energy in the form of burnable fuel as possible,
temperatures around the aircraft are around-40c(-40f) or-50c, so you do not want your fuel gelling up on you."
If air travel continues to grow at the predicted rate, it could contribute a considerably higher proportion by 2050.
The search for aviation biofuels broke on to the public stage in the late 2000s
when there were a number of test flights using a blend of conventional fuel and biofuel. In February 2008, the first commercial flight partly powered by biofuel (derived from a mixture of babassu nuts
and coconuts) took off from London's Heathrow airport. After a lengthy review by aircraft makers, engine manufacturers and fuel producers, biofuels were approved for commercial use in 2011.
Prof Bell said the team were hopeful that their findings would ultimately be adopted by commercial fuel producers."
