New Vauxhall to offer driverless option Vauxhall is getting ready to launch what would be the world's first 'driverless car', according to reports.
Should the driver of the future decide to switch the system off, Vauxhall's parent company GM is also developing technologies to account for human error. A new alloy is currently being researched that heats up and expands when an electrical current is passed through it. GM believes that the metal could be used to create bumpers and body panels that repair themselves after an accident. If being able to drive and repair itself were not enough, the cheap new Vectra will also be larger and more practical than its current incarnation, with high performance and four wheel drive variants also under development.
