For this third episode, Neil Barrett welcomes Neil Worth, Chief Executive of GEM Motoring Assist and Colin Paterson, Head of Marketing for DriveTech. With many parts of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 being activated in 2021, the Automated Lane Keeping System could be on our roads very soon. In the UK, this will mark the start of a rollout of features which won’t usually require the driver’s attention on the road when they’re being used. This milestone on the long journey to so-called Level 5 full autonomy is significant, with many implications for insurance, driver education, public awareness and policing. The panel discuss all this and more, including some possible next steps.

Project EDWARD (Every Day Without A Road Death) is an annual UK-wide road safety campaign backed by government, the emergency services, highways agencies, road safety organisations and British businesses.

The Campaign, Managed by ARRM and RoadSafe, promotes an evidence-led, ‘safe system’ approach – the long-term objective of which is a road traffic system free from death and serious injury.

Our aim is to provide a platform that showcases some of the best work being done around the country to promote:

• Safe Vehicles
• Safe Road Use
• Safe Speed
• Safe Roads and Roadsides
• Post Crash Care
