I’m guessing “spanner” is Brit for pause or is more like monkeywrench?

'loose adherence to rules of the road' behaving like humans, killing and maiming no one. But yeah, I'd prefer if they tried driverless trucks first - the kind that mostly stays on the highways and delivers to large warehouses on the outskirts of the city.

awjre Global warming, homelessness, austerity, Brexit, they just need to to take out the NHS then their job is done

Maybe they could have cyclistless bikes?...Not sure I gave that enough thought?

That's fine

What is so strange about this to me, is that rigth now car manufacturers oppose solid speed limitation for cars (ISA) and still expect to just go on with self-driving cars that will probably never be able to negotiate all the strange kinds of situations on traffic. Baby steps!

'.. cyclists, with their...loose adherence to the rules of the road..' Care to elaborate?

'Loose adherence to the rules of the road'. Like drivers who rack up countless deaths every single day by speeding, close passing, driving on the pavement, not looking where they're going, driving drunk, driving drugged etc etc etc? Is that what you meant?

'...cyclists, with their...loose adherence to the rules of the road...', unlike the motorists who kill 5 people per day in the UK, presumably? Come on Guardian, shoddy stuff.

It is absolutely recreating the train but without the need for any of the infrastructure. It uses the emerging technology to make better use of existing infrastructure. I envisage a passenger version at some stage.

Surely 'report highlights dangers of driverless cars to cyclists' is a more appropriate sub. The cyclists aren't causing any problem.

We cycle like dancers.... Inpredictable...

A clever way of transporting goods but it looks like recreating the train
