Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to regulate the use of autonomous vehicles.
The Government paper “Connected & Automated Mobility 2025: realising the benefits of self-driving vehicles in the UK” sets out government’s plans to support the development and deployment of safe self-driving vehicles in the UK. This includes proposals for a comprehensive regulatory, legislative and safety framework.
The Department is committed to these plans and will introduce primary legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
