What's New... Umm, on your favourite radio news programme

Newsroom presenter: "It's been announced by the Department for Transport that driverless cars could soon be seen on Britain's roads. Trials will, apparently, start at selected locations throughout the country in the near future. The vehicles will have radar and GPS, and systems that will help them navigate around other vehicles and avoid collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. The benefits, we are told, will be innumerable. Safety, the environment, they will all benefit. Could the panacea of a zero road casualty figure soon be a reality? No expensive road markings to clutter our surroundings, or unnecessary lighting to waste our precious energy resources. Fuel efficiency and reduced congestion are also claimed. Not forgetting that even more precious commodity in our increasingly busy lives: time. Does the thought of extra time to beaver away on whatever, while being driven to work by your car, appeal? Well, let's not waste any more time; our transport correspondent has the latest".
