UK Considering Bill on Automated and Electric Vehicles

A new bill introduced in the UK Parliament would govern self-driving cars and electric vehicles. The bill will require insurance for both the automated vehicle itself and the driver of an automated vehicle. It provides that the vehicle insurer will be liable for accidents caused by an automated vehicle that is driving itself; however, if an accident is caused by the human driver, the driver will be liable. The bill also requires highway services and gas stations to install chargers for electric cars.
