Leah here with your Wednesday headlines, including more good news

:00:08.:00:14.

And driverless cars are coming to the UK.

:00:15.:00:19.

First, if you've got a long road trip in the family car

:00:20.:00:27.

this summer, imagine if it was in a car that drives itself.

:00:28.:00:32.

As early as January next year driverless cars will be tested on UK

:00:33.:00:35.

It looks like any other car but as the vehicle pulse away this driver

:00:36.:00:49.

takes his hands off the wheel. Right now it's driving itself with the

:00:50.:00:53.

help of some hi-tech gadgets like this GPS system guiding its

:00:54.:00:57.

movements. The Government announced this morning that driverless cars

:00:58.:01:00.

will soon be a reality on British roads. So lots of experiments like

:01:01.:01:05.

this one are happening across the country on special test tracks. The

:01:06.:01:12.

BBC's technology correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, was able to test one

:01:13.:01:17.

out. This car is being tested in a controlled environment but from next

:01:18.:01:20.

year more advance vehicles with lots of sensors on board will be allowed

:01:21.:01:24.

out on to the open road. Then we will see how the great British

:01:25.:01:28.

public reacts to the idea of driverless cars.

:01:29.:01:31.

In America, driverless cars have already been tested on roads in

:01:32.:01:35.

California but some people are cautious about seeing them on the

:01:36.:01:39.

open road here in this country. We are not going to suddenly see all

:01:40.:01:44.

the vehicles coming on to the road driverless. You will see high levels

:01:45.:01:50.

of automatication and a small number of cars that can be driven safely

:01:51.:01:55.

without a driver. This project is looking at how self-driving cars

:01:56.:01:59.

might learn to communicate with each other for safety. But over the

:02:00.:02:03.

coming months scientists will need to work very hard to make sure

:02:04.:02:06.

driverless cars have a future on British roads.

:02:07.:02:31.

To the Commonwealth Games and some breaking news

:02:32.:02:33.

of what should be a one-two-three for the home nations, as England's

:02:34.:02:36.

Max Whitlock is about to win his second gold medal of the games,

:02:37.:02:39.

This was Max's routine on the parallel bars just an hour ago.

:02:40.:02:44.

Dan Keatings of Scotland and England's Nile Wilson are battling

:02:45.:02:46.

But Glasgow's not just about the sport.

:02:47.:02:50.

Scotland's biggest city has plenty more to offer.

:02:51.:02:52.

Today I am going to be showing you around the city. This is the

:02:53.:03:04.

amadillo. Different artists come, when I was younger I did dancing

:03:05.:03:08.

displays here. So, Martin, what I love about the

:03:09.:03:13.

centre... Beth, I am here! I knew that. Right, come on, let's go.

:03:14.:03:17.

I love this place so much because there's so much to do and see. The

:03:18.:03:22.

activities are really fun and enjoyable and really exciting. We

:03:23.:03:26.

are always learning. It looks as if you are learning how to build DNA.

:03:27.:03:34.

Yeah, done. Let's go. Beth, where are we now? We are in an art gallery

:03:35.:03:40.

in Glasgow. There's loads of ditch stuff to see, including loads of

:03:41.:03:45.

animals and even a Spitfire. Every time I come there's something new I

:03:46.:03:47.

haven't seen before. Do you think all these animals come to life when

:03:48.:03:51.

it gets dark? Definitely. I think so, as well.

:03:52.:03:59.

Here is Fossil Drove. Wow, what is it? It's a collection of fossils,

:04:00.:04:05.

hundreds of millions of years old. It's cool. Thanks for taking me.

:04:06.:04:10.

You're welcome. OK, Martin, I hope you enjoyed my

:04:11.:04:14.

favourite spots in Glasgow as much as I did. I did, thanks, I had fun.

:04:15.:04:19.

OK, I am sure you know your way home. Beth, Beth! Great job, Beth.

:04:20.:04:30.

Last up, fist pump, chest bump, handshake, high-five.

:04:31.:04:32.

What's your favourite way of greeting your mates?

:04:33.:04:34.

Scientists have told us that shaking hands is the most unhygenic way

:04:35.:04:37.

So we want your videos of weird and wacky greetings!

:04:38.:04:40.

Send us your clips and we'll pull the most imaginative

:04:41.:04:43.

together in a fun-filled extravaganza later this week.

:04:44.:04:48.

And you'd better make sure you're watching tomorrow morning

:04:49.:04:51.

because Ayshah is going on the hunt for these badboys -
