When will we see autonomous vehicles on our roads? The answer is
that to some degree, they are already here. Numerous organisations
are testing fully autonomous prototypes on public roads in the UK,
and even commercially available vehicles already have several
'quasi-autonomous' features. KPMG has forecasted that the connected
and autonomous vehicles market could be worth as much as GBP51
billion to the British economy by 2030 and could create some 30,000
new jobs over the same period. Accordingly, the UK and a number of
other jurisdictions are already implementing legal reforms with a
view to smoothing the path for this technology. Notably, Parliament
has passed the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 dealing
with the insurance of such vehicles, and changes are currently
being made to the Road Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations
1986 and to the Highway Code to accommodate highly automated
technologies. The government has also issued non-statutory guidance
in relation to testing on public roads, and in relation to vehicle
cybersecurity. Against this rapidly changing landscape, this book
analyses the key legal issues facing autonomous vehicles, including
testing on public roads, insurance, product liability, and cyber
security and data protection. It also examines the approach being
taken in other jurisdictions, including Austria, Germany, Greece,
Italy, the USA, and South Africa.
