Some years ago I was involved in commisioning a tracking system above Pendine Sands. The system was from the states and worked perfectly in Nevada and the Middle East, yep you guessed it,took months to get to work in Wales.

It would, of course, depend on what systems the vehicle is using and whether (as often happens with much/all [?] current UK testing) the vehicle is operating on a pre-planned route that has been assessed for suitability and electronically mapped.
However, what should be fairly certain is that it should drive within its limits for 'vision' and stopping. Shame you can't say the same for many humans

Exactly. And IMHO early roll-out could lead to some very nasty incidents, followed by some very tortuous legal arguments.
