Environment
Air quality: Motorists are concerned
about poor air quality, particularly
in their local area and the RAC
calls on the Government to move
forward rapidly to implement the
air quality strategy published in
2015. We also call upon those local
authorities implementing Clean
Air Zones to do so in line with the
framework defined in the strategy,
to target only the most polluting
vehicles, and to do so in a way
that is not punitive for owners of
smaller, more modern diesel
vehicles, many of whom believed
their choice to be environmentally
sound because of the low carbon
dioxide emissions of such vehicles.

Autonomous vehicles
Driverless cars: There is still a
poor understanding of the potential
benefits of connected and autonomous
vehicles among motorists with many
sceptical and some fearful of the
prospect of driverless cars on UK
roads. A receptive and enthusiastic
home market would benefit the UK‘s
economic success in this emerging
market and the RAC therefore calls on
the Government and the motor industry
to inform and engage with motorists so
that they better understand the benefits
of such vehicles.
