The UK has become the latest jurisdiction to allow self-driving cars to operated on public streets, with plans for a government-funded trial revealed today.

Three separate testing programs will share £10 million (AU$18.1 million) of funding, aimed at assessing autonomous cars in and around UK cities.

Autonomous cars will be monitored with and without drivers behind the wheel, with the trial set to last between 18 and 36 months.

The tender process is currently open to any interested parties, so it remains to be seen exactly which companies, government organisations and carmakers will take up the offer.
