A committee in the British Parliament has launched an inquiry into self-driving vehicles aimed at establishing what needs to happen for them to become a common sight on public roads.

The Transport Select Committee in the House of Commons announced on June 27 that it will analyse the progress of research and trials into self-driving vehicles in the UK and overseas, and the likely uses of them for private motoring, public transport, and commercial driving.
