In the past the Conservative party has been accused of not being in tune with the British public. Matters have not been helped by a number of ‘out of touch’ gaffes including David Cameron’s confession that he does not know the price of a loaf of bread because he prefers to use his £100 bread-maker.
However, at least one Tory MP’s heart is in the right place. Adam Afriyie, the MP for Windsor, has today shared his views on why it’s time for driverless cars to come to Britain. Rather than the eco-benefits of the car-sharing options it could bring, Afriyie says Britain needs ‘driverless cars’ on the roads so everyone can ‘enjoy the benefits of a chauffeur’.
Given Afriyie’s £100 million fortune, Mr S suspects he won’t have to wait for driverless cars to arrive in order to get close to the ‘chauffeur experience’.
