"Driverless cars will transport people through the streets of Milton Keynes from 2015, in the biggest test yet of the futuristic vehicles in Britain.

"Vince Cable, the business secretary, announced that 20 of the vehicles will travel on special pathways separated from pedestrians around the Buckinghamshire town's shopping centre.

"By mid-2017 it is planned that 100 fully autonomous cars will be in operation, sharing pathways with pedestrians and equipped with sensors to avoid collisions."
