Autonomous vehicles: How 7 countries are handling the regulatory landscape

▤ Summary

Autonomous vehicle development is shifting into gear, inspiring many countries to create laws and regulations associated with the tech, a Dentons report found. The NTC is analyzing options and concerns related to future autonomous vehicle integration, with plans to change driving laws to support the technology. The New Zealand government is on board with the testing of semi and fully autonomous vehicles but doesnt have any specific regulations associated with self-driving transportation, the report found. The UKs Department of Transport has control over driverless vehicle testing and deployment and is working to redesign current road networks to handle the tech, according to the report. "There are a number of states that have already passed laws or governors who have signed executive orders," Tanenblatt said, "But the more it happens, the more its going to force the federal government at some point to step in and put some broad parameters."
