I hope we see the CarBEN soon enough to see some range tests, its an impressive project so far. An issue with real world CarBEN may be weight - I'm sure it is light enough but I wonder about the environment.
For info the route from London to Edinburgh is more or less along the coast from Newcastle onwards - and that is the North Sea so lots of cross winds and rain. The last time I drove it I passed a stuck Land Rover, I was in Helga which was worrying...
