One in four business drivers fear being replaced by driverless cars

One in four business drivers are concerned that they will be replaced by autonomous vehicles in their working lifetime, according to research from Masternaut, fleet telematics solutions provider. Driverless cars are currently being trialed on UK roads in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Coventry, as ministers consider changes to the Highway Code to allow driverless cars to be used by the general public; although there is still uncertainty over regulatory and legislative implications. Masternaut surveyed 2,000 UK employees who drive as part of their job, to find out their attitudes towards driverless cars and the effect this will have on their job in the future. www.masternaut.com.
