Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that data being transmitted by UK automated vehicles to manufacturers is not stored offshore.
Effective and secure storage of data produced by self-driving vehicles is vital for their deployment. Ahead of full implementation of the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 in the second half of 2027, the Department for Transport will be seeking further information on data storage as part of upcoming consultations on the regulatory framework.
