UK to allow driverless cars on the road

The Financial Times reports that the government has announced a review of road traffic regulations to permit driverless cars on our roads by January 2015, and that a competition is being held to find three cities where trials can be carried out. London seems to be out of the running, though even Birmingham is mentioned on the basis that it is not too congested. Really? Perhaps they will avoid the M6.
