Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress his Department has made on bringing forward legislative proposals to enable the use of autonomous vehicles on roads.
In August 2022 the Government published ‘Connected & Automated Mobility 2025: Realising the benefits of self-driving vehicles in the UK’, setting out the government’s vision to enable the deployment of self-driving vehicles in the UK by 2025. This includes bringing forward proposals for a comprehensive regulatory, legislative and safety framework. The Government intends to introduce legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
