Driverless cars heading for NSW

NSW MPs Anthony Roberts and Jeremy Buckingham have pledged to do more to get driverless cars on the road as soon as possible.

Driverless cars could become the norm for NSW drivers in the next few years.

Autonomous electric cars are the "future of driving" in NSW, Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy, Anthony Roberts said after testing the self-driving Tesla model S car.

Using cameras, radars and sensors, the car is able to navigate at 100km/h, change lanes and automatically steer, accelerate and brake.
