LeasePlan ‘would welcome the right legislation’ for autonomous vehicles

Vehicle management group LeasePlan UK has responded to the driverless car legislation in the Queen’s Speech earlier this week, highlighting that it is poised to welcome the right legislation and insurance or legal requirements needed to bring driverless vehicles to our roads.

Said Lesley Slater, operations and business development director, LeasePlan UK:  “Autonomous vehicle technology is already here and the fleet industry is poised to welcome the right legislation and insurance or legal requirements needed to bring driverless vehicles onto our roads. This endorsement from our Head of State, and welcome nod to future of transport, signals Britain is at the forefront of this exciting technology which could help make our roads safer and more efficient.”
