Driverless cars, Mobile phone 'notspots', Stranded on holiday

Consumer affairs, including what it is like to be a passenger in a driverless car and what happened to a government promise to bring mobile phone coverage to remote places.

Cars that can drive themselves will be tested on roads in England from January. We report from Tokyo on what it's like to be a passenger when no one's steering the wheel.

And who is picking up the bill for holidaymakers stranded in Egypt?
