Commenting on the announcement that Business Secretary Greg Clark is launching a competition to access the Government’s £100 million connected and autonomous vehicles test facilities investment programme, Rod Jones, insurance expert at Uswitch.com, says: “Consumer trust in automated vehicles remains incredibly low, with just one in four currently trusting the technology. According to our research half of people don’t believe they will make our roads safer.

“It is encouraging to see the Government putting money into creating a comprehensive testing hub to ensure that autonomous vehicles will make our roads safer, as building trust in the technology is key to making driverless cars a reality on our roads.”
