RoSPA's new policy paper "Cars In The Future", takes an in depth look at vehicle technology and explores how driving will change in the future. It is intended to help
the general public understand what exactly is happening with cars, and where the technology is going.
It is also intended to help those working in road safety or fleet management understand what all of the current issues around vehicle engineering are, and how in future, it will relate more to education, training and publicity work.
