I see from a BBC News web page that a trial has been approved for use on UK motorways. Proviso is that manual resumption of control must be possible within 10 seconds. Constrained to a single lane and max speed of 37mph. Even at that speed a vehicle could travel over 16 metres in 10 seconds. Stopping distance at that speed is 42 metres.
Add in a smart motorway ( does one exist?) and a bevy of frustrated lorry drivers/motorists. It will be as popular as a bacon butty at a bar mitzvah.
