Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the approval process for licensing the use of Tesla Autopilot software.

Tesla vehicles are approved currently under a GB provisional Type Approval issued by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA). To obtain a Provisional GB type approval, manufacturers must provide VCA with a copy of the current and valid EU type approval certificates for the vehicle type that they wish to place on the market. Details of the provisional approval scheme can be found of the VCA website: https://www.vehicle-certification-agency.gov.uk/vehicle-type-approval/provisional-gb-type-approval-scheme/
