transport has issued a call for evidence into automated lane keeping systems 14 00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:16,960 into automated lane keeping systems 15 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,870 into automated lane keeping systems such technology controls a car's 16 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:18,880 such technology controls a car's 17 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,470 such technology controls a car's movements and can keep it in lane for 18 00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:20,480 movements and can keep it in lane for 19 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,750 movements and can keep it in lane for extended periods 20 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:21,760 extended periods 21 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,509 extended periods although drivers need to be ready to 22 00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:23,519 although drivers need to be ready to 23 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:25,189 although drivers need to be ready to take back control 24 00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:25,199 take back control 25 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:27,429 take back control the society

number of accidents 31 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,950 number of accidents the technology for a car to steer itself 32 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:32,960 the technology for a car to steer itself 33 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,350 the technology for a car to steer itself and stay in lane even around curves 34 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:35,360 and stay in lane even around curves 35 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,750 and stay in lane even around curves already exists in some modern cars but 36 00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:37,760 already exists in some modern cars but 37 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,670 already exists in some modern cars but the law says that drivers must 38 00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:39,680 the law says that drivers must 39 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,750 the law says that drivers must remain alert and ready to take over 40 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:41,760 remain alert and ready to take over 41 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,869 remain alert and ready to take over instantly 42 00:00:42,869 -->

the five 48 00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:49,280 it is considered level two on the five 49 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,830 it is considered level two on the five defined levels of self-driving cars 50 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:51,840 defined levels of self-driving cars 51 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,310 defined levels of self-driving cars the next step level three would not need 52 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:54,320 the next step level three would not need 53 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,389 the next step level three would not need the driver's attention at all times and 54 00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:56,399 the driver's attention at all times and 55 00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,069 the driver's attention at all times and in theory the driver could do other 56 00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:58,079 in theory the driver could do other 57 00:00:58,079 --> 00:00:58,709 in theory the driver could do other things 58 00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:58,719 things 59 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,950 things such as check email or

prompts them to take over again introducing those systems would 66 00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:06,400 again introducing those systems would 67 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:06,950 again introducing those systems would require 68 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:06,960 require 69 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,109 require changes to current legal framework 70 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:09,119 changes to current legal framework
