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
@9NKHZF2Liberal Democrat10mos10MO
Dedicated lanes for autonomous vehicles will promote advancement of autonomous driving technologies. This will help to make our streets safer, since autonomous vehicles are programmed not to break traffic regulations. Something that humans are incapable of
@B2BJWY83mos3MO
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.
@9ZPK6TL4mos4MO
No, autonomous vehicles should not be allowed without complete assurance of their safety, which has not been achieved yet and they appear unsafe.
@9ZM26SR4mos4MO
Why do we need autonomous vehicles? So much development in vehicles that are a detriment to the planet.
@filly 6mos6MO
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.
@9QNHSYHConservative9mos9MO
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.
@9Q9JXH89mos9MO
Only if this helps speed the development of autonomous vehicles for all, not make it just for some people to us
@9Q5SGTX9mos9MO
I do not believe in the development of personal autonomous vehicles, however public autonomous vehicles could have special lanes
@9QPRKMV9mos9MO
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.
@9QCWC7V9mos9MO
I don't think we should have self drive cars... they scare me with the potential damage it could cause
@9NWVWCD10mos10MO
Roads are to congested as it is, these vehicles should not be allowed on roads until they have been proved to be fail proof.
@9MYDTJ810mos10MO
No, we shouldn't have autonomous vehicles in the first place
@9MQ3YGDLiberal Democrat10mos10MO
They shouldn’t be allowed until they are totally safe
@9MLNZCF10mos10MO
No because autonomous vehicles should be able to drive on any road if the problem is solved correctly
@9PN5GN59mos9MO
Not all cities have the capacity to allow this. Where possible bus lanes should allow autonomous vehicle use
@9PLDZTKConservative 9mos9MO
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
@9NXXS6S10mos10MO
Yes but not yet, the current priority should be maintaining existing infrastructure, and making hybrid vehicles more fit for purpose and numerous.
@9NL5CND 10mos10MO
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
@9N7M42P10mos10MO
No - Autonomous vehicles should not be permitted at all.
@9N72C9L10mos10MO
Yes, but more testing should be done to deem them safe to pedestrians
@9N4JS2G10mos10MO
No - but autonomous vehicles should not be used at all
@9N224LH 10mos10MO
No, autonomous vehicles are a pipe-dream and are too difficult to implement on any meaningful scale.
@9N6RXNW10mos10MO
No, it shouldn't incentivise autonomous vehicles which will not help ease congestion or reduce emissions
@9N53D4D10mos10MO
Create them when it’s safe enough that people who cannot drive are allowed to operate automated cars.
@9MWFM5410mos10MO
Figure out the number of vehicles to see if it’s worthwhile
@9MRRXX2Independent10mos10MO
I do not support the use of autonomous vehicles. They should be banned.
