Advanced Alert From Monday 6th November on BBC Radio 4 at 12.04 pm each day for five days will be a program titled: Brexit: A Guide For the Perplexed In them Chris Morris cuts through the jargon to examine what will change when the UK leaves the EU. Seems like a good opportunity for those...

Fully agreed, we already have cars like that which depend on a driver to catch the current inevitable automation errors. But I'm discussing driverless, not those having any form of real time human management which are not driverless. That's cars without controls and just a passenger...

Deadlines on dumping investigation: Information link .

Once again this part of your reply doesn't relate to the subject. There is no driver to be held responsible in a driverless car. I agree about the abilities of existing cars like your one, but in cities they are almost helpless at present in automation terms. They have a very long way to go...

Not out of this world, it seems you'd be surprised by how often some of them occur. Perhaps you'd like to suggest one of the things I've listed that you think unlikely? .

No, not conjecture but as I posted, actual and often frequent events that driverless will have to deal with in urban environments. H & S officer? That's quite funny to me, I hate the often unnecessary H & S interventions. But this is not a H & S special dangers subject, it's about the...

Not the last three words. Severe cross winds on landing are far beyond automated landing and only coped with by pilot skill. Convoy fashion locked to each other on long distances, certainly. We could have that now. In current urban environments driverless is a very long way off though...

I'm quoting the lawyers, not my views but theirs. .

Nice idea, but we'll have to learn how to demolish the old buildings first, instead of slapping all manner of preservation orders, listing etc on everything on false grounds of merit. .

I don't understand this post, it doesn't answer mine. The only persons in a driverless car are passengers who almost certainly cannot have caused an accident. .

Depends which discharge rate each has been quoted at. If the Chinese battery has had it's capacity measured at a higher discharge rate than the 13.4 Ah one, the true capacity might well be the same for both. Nominal capacity isn't cast in iron as shown, and realised capacity in use depends on...

Recognising Kosovo's UDI was only to avoid a never ending conflict resuting from the ill judged events of 1922 and 1940/41. And it was not only the EU recognising it. On 17 February 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia. It has since gained diplomatic recognition as a...

Not for repairs though, only new builds. .

It's actually been around for a surprisingly long time, the USA have for years had cross country long distance rally events for driverless cars. The biggest problems are and will remain for a long time the legal aspect. Accidents will inevitably happen and who do we accuse and claim from. We...

I and my family didn't enjoy that benefit. With an Italian father and surname and a German woman living next door you might imagine how we were shunned during and for a long time after World War 2. And it didn't stop in the home area for my brother and I, the discrimination and unfair...

I agree with Woosh, there's gross exaggeration in the figures. In bricklaying, plastering and decorating they fail to take into account all the maintenance and repair needs. It's all very well citing Crossrail and other such huge projects, but probably more than half of all present...

But of course this is impossible while national government insist on total control and management of local government by controlling the purse strings and tightly ruling on what local government can do. Local government needs to be able to conduct most of it's own taxation and expenditure with...

Excellent post Zlatan. .

Completely agree with this, but the current government and its immediate predecessor haven't even been attempting most of it The evil of inherited wealth they protect. .
