Automated vehicles and innovating the law

Human drivers are central to our system of accountability in road traffic. The arrival of automated vehicles is set to change this. We will consider legal changes in the UK and abroad that have already started to unfold in insurance, the highway code and technical regulations. We will look at regulatory innovations for AVs and remote operations that are in the pipeline including helping identify a suitable safety standard, shifting the focus from individuals to corporate accountability and regulating remote driving.
