And off we go in a big rush again? Looks like the insurers will have the last say on this:

Mark Shepherd, head of general insurance policy at the Association of British Insurers, said: 'While the insurance industry fully supports the development towards more automated vehicles, drivers must not be given unrealistic expectations about a system's capability.

'It is vital that Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS), which rely on the driver to take back control, are not classed as automated, but as assisted systems. By keeping this distinction clear we can help ensure that the rules around ALKS are appropriate and put driver and passenger safety first.'
