It's unlikely he'll ever be allowed to join the CPC due to his past adultery and his son's drug use, they have pretty strict character requirements. It isn't like an American political party where any idiot can become leader.
They didn't really have the biggest support base, the "first past the post" system only gives that impression. In reality they got 33% of the vote, the lowest vote share of any majority party in British history, they lost the previous election with 32% of the vote.
What happened is the conservative party had it's vote split in most constituencies by the new right wing "reform" party. This allowed them to gain 200 seats despite only increasing their vote share by 1%.
I'll add that every other self driving car company has a pretty good safety record, specifically because they do use LIDAR and RADAR so they can see better than humans.
