A call for evidence



UK government announces Automated Lane Keeping System call for evidence

Government launches consultation on an automated system capable of taking vehicle control to make driving safer and easier.

The UK is taking steps forward in automated technology in vehicles with the launch of a call for evidence today (18 August 2020) to help shape how innovative new systems could be used in future on GB roads.

The call for evidence will look at the Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS) – an automated system that can take over control of the vehicle at low speeds, keeping it in lane on motorways.

Presumably this call for evidence will be more astutely conducted than the calls for coronavirus evidence, climate change evidence, HS2 evidence and a comparable list going back decades. 

Maybe evidence that governments know how to call for evidence would be a good place to begin. Evidence-based evidence calling for example.

More expensive and unnecessary control bollox. We already have the Road Traffic Act. That just needs more traffic cars to enforce it instead of throwing the police funding at revenue cameras and fixed wing aircraft which spend most of their time decorating Doncaster airport to no effect.

Jannie - that seems to be the official fascination - expensive control followed by more control.
