Self-driving vehicles regulation

The Department for Transport and Ministry of Justice are developing a comprehensive regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles (self-driving cars) in the UK, including the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 and a permitting scheme for automated passenger services (APS). The framework addresses liability, safety standards, and operational approval for driverless vehicle deployment on public roads. Current status involves consultation on the APS permitting scheme and development of detailed regulatory guidance.
