And take away thousands of jobs! Yay! Not!

SMMT That £62 billion assumes driving time becomes productive time. Ever tried working in a car that someone else is driving? Me neither.

UK world’s no.1 location for mass-market potential of CAVs, with £62bn annual economic opportunity by 2030. Success hinges on favourable Brexit agreement, with ‘no deal’ threat putting investment and safety gains at risk SMMTConnected

Huh what a such amazing car😺

I was a doubter that there would be self driving cars so quickly, the evidence proves i am wrong. Now I doubt there will be a boost to the economy as sales of cars will decline as people will use a fleet of ever present self driving taxis instead of owning. Maybe i'm wrong again

wouldn't work in the UK- they're not manual

Bullcrap, you cant even do 'selfdriving' tube or railway, and its fixed one way track.

Maybe a government of robots could provide a boost on Brexit negotiations too

Just imagine the boost if we cared more about improving public transport for everyone rather than making private cars fancier

After the billions lost on your London subway extension, that sounds almost like the average Canadian propaganda. Canada

Self driving cars are just a fantasy....no insurance company would cover a self driving car....especially here in Britain where there is a culture of 'blame-the-other-driver'....

Aw thats good we will need that to give to the eu.

self driving cars are so dumb (especially in cities), normalise & invest in making a reliable, efficient public transport network instead

No more soul com intel, bodybag, or other drivers for taste

Self-driving cars are an oxymoron. Why not trying a self-driven Brexit? 🤣

If you're looking for an article of utter contrived tripe purely to support an angle on Brexit, look no further folks.

Please convert your future fiscal tweets to U.S. dollars or I'll be forced to unfollow. America FuckYeah

Oh look at that. Maybe AmericaFirst can export our vehicles chevrolet Ford realDonaldTrump

Nah

Less drivers being paid, and more pedestrians being injured, is always an economic windfall.

with a big chunk of it going to insurance companies methinks

Just in domestic market? Come on, now! brexit
