And they see a future that could mean traffic lights dying a natural death as self-driving cars take control.\nREAD MORE UK roads could welcome self-driving cars by 2025Already they have learnt major lessons from the London experiment, including how less likely it is for British drivers to obey road rules.\nTwo Nissan self-driving electric cars have completed hundreds of laps around a 4km route featuring busy A roads in Woolwich, south-east London, for two years.\nIt is part of the ServCity project to identify and tackle barriers to autonomous vehicles in cities.\nThe three-year ServCity project has been tackling barriers to deploying autonomous vehicles.
