Driverless Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance she has issued to companies conducting autonomous vehicle trials on public communications on the (a) capability and (b) legal compliance of prototype systems.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The ‘Code of Practice: automated vehicle trialling’ is publicly available online through the government’s website. The Code of Practice was published to support organisations or individuals wishing to trial automated vehicle technologies and services. Further guidance will be published to support organisations wishing to deploy through the Automated Passenger Services (APS) permitting scheme, which government intends to introduce in spring.
