Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce regulations for the use of self-driving cars on roads in England; and what is the timetable for this work.

The Government has made a commitment to creating a new legislative framework for self-driving vehicles on GB roads, to ensure that deployment of self-driving technology is safe and delivers the benefits we want to see.

The Law Commissions’ report, published on 26 January 2022, recommended new laws to regulate automated vehicles (AVs) in Great Britain, following a three-year world leading review which the Department asked them to carry out. The Department will consider the recommendations published in their report and respond in due course.
