Google Favors Less-Regulated UK For Self-Driving Car Development (telegraph.co.uk)

Posted by Soulskill on Monday December 14, 2015 @02:33AM from the why-the-tardis-succeeded dept.

An anonymous reader writes: According to documents obtained by The Telegraph, Google considers the UK a key market for development of its self-driving car program. In one of the five meetings the documents describe, Sarah Hunter, head of Google's experimental SDV division, commented that the company is "very positive about the non-regulatory approach being taken in the UK [which] places the UK in a good position and could be seen as an example of best practice." Google has also escaped excessive regulation in the area of drone development by pursuing Project WinG in the easier regulatory climes of Australia.

The UK as a less regulated environment? Is this April first, or did I accidentally get to the Onion?
