Self-driving car users will be allowed to watch films and TV under new rules
While it will remain illegal to use phones behind the wheel, the code will explain drivers must be ready to take back control of vehicles if necessary.
And insurance companies, instead of individuals, will be liable for claims if a self-driving car crashes. Transport minister Trudy Harrison the Highway Code update will be a "major milestone in our safe introduction of self-driving vehicles", which she claimed will "revolutionise the way we travel, making our future journeys greener, safer and more reliable".
She said "This exciting technology is developing at pace right here in Great Britain and we're ensuring we have strong foundations in place for drivers when it takes to our roads. "In doing so, we can help improve travel for all while boosting economic growth across the nation and securing Britain's place as a global science superpower."
