Special lanes for autonomous vehicles separate them from regular traffic, potentially improving safety and traffic flow. Proponents argue that dedicated lanes increase safety, enhance traffic efficiency, and encourage the adoption of autonomous technology. Opponents argue that it reduces road space for traditional vehicles and may not be justified given the current number of autonomous vehicles.

No, self driving cars once proven as road-legal should start to phase out human drivers. You cannot have both self-driving and human-driven cars at the same time, there would need to be mass communication between all cars AI.
They shouldn't be allowed. That's the regulation I want off these vehicles. But if they're guaranteed to get used, I want them nowhere near people or other things generally.
@B5FSG8Y3mos3MO
Such specific lanes should only be implemented if the number of autonomous vehicles on the roads increases.
@B2BJWY87mos7MO
Yes as long as it dose not mean the technology will become worse as it only has to be worried about other autonomous vehicles and not other self driven cars.
@9ZPK6TL9mos9MO
No, autonomous vehicles should not be allowed without complete assurance of their safety, which has not been achieved yet and they appear unsafe.
@9ZM26SR9mos9MO
Why do we need autonomous vehicles? So much development in vehicles that are a detriment to the planet.
@filly 11mos11MO
No, there is potential for this to happen in the future, however, the UK does not currently have the infrastructure to sustain mass use of electric vehicle's.
@B5988HJ4mos4MO
Yes, but only as part of a broader strategy that prioritizes and significantly invests in accessible public transportation, dedicated lanes for buses and bicycles, and pedestrian infrastructure, ensuring that autonomous vehicles serve to complement these modes rather than compete with them for road space.
@9QNHSYHConservative1yr1Y
If they are going to be introduced, they should absolutely have separate lanes, but better not to have them at all.
Yes, but it would mean possibly redeveloping the way the roads in the UK are structured. It's a good idea but may need a lot of work to make that work well.
@9Q9JXH81yr1Y
Only if this helps speed the development of autonomous vehicles for all, not make it just for some people to us
@9Q5SGTX1yr1Y
I do not believe in the development of personal autonomous vehicles, however public autonomous vehicles could have special lanes
@9QPRKMV1yr1Y
Yes, but only if autonomous vehicles are allowed in the first place. Caution should be heeded whenever control over potentially dangerous outcomes have increased margin for error, regardless of how minimal an increase.
@9QCWC7V1yr1Y
I don't think we should have self drive cars... they scare me with the potential damage it could cause
@9NWVWCD1yr1Y
Roads are to congested as it is, these vehicles should not be allowed on roads until they have been proved to be fail proof.
@9NL5CND 1yr1Y
No, there is limited infrastructure in place already and there is no space that would allow this to take over
Their should be a designated lane for police, ambulances and buses
@9N7M42P1yr1Y
No - Autonomous vehicles should not be permitted at all.
@9N72C9L1yr1Y
Yes, but more testing should be done to deem them safe to pedestrians
@9N4JS2G1yr1Y
No - but autonomous vehicles should not be used at all
@9N224LH 1yr1Y
No, autonomous vehicles are a pipe-dream and are too difficult to implement on any meaningful scale.
@9MYDTJ81yr1Y
No, we shouldn't have autonomous vehicles in the first place
They shouldn’t be allowed until they are totally safe
@9MLNZCF1yr1Y
No because autonomous vehicles should be able to drive on any road if the problem is solved correctly
@9PN5GN51yr1Y
Not all cities have the capacity to allow this. Where possible bus lanes should allow autonomous vehicle use
@9PLDZTKConservative 1yr1Y
No, we love in a world we we are trying to uninvent the invented. Empty cycle lanes everywhere, bus lanes empty, more should be done to help motorists who pay the money. Cyclists, motorcyclists all bk more laws than car drivers. More advancements in areas of electric cars and better funded and reliable public transport
@9NXXS6S1yr1Y
Yes but not yet, the current priority should be maintaining existing infrastructure, and making hybrid vehicles more fit for purpose and numerous.
@9N6RXNW1yr1Y
No, it shouldn't incentivise autonomous vehicles which will not help ease congestion or reduce emissions
@9N53D4D1yr1Y
Create them when it’s safe enough that people who cannot drive are allowed to operate automated cars.
@9MWFM541yr1Y
Figure out the number of vehicles to see if it’s worthwhile
@9MRRXX2Independent1yr1Y
I do not support the use of autonomous vehicles. They should be banned.
@B6GD9572wks2W
The UK should reject the creation of special lanes for private autonomous vehicles and instead invest in a holistic urban transport policy that prioritizes massive public investment in free or heavily subsidized, high-quality public transport, utilizing autonomous technology to make the public system more efficient and accessible for all citizens.
