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.
This book discusses various legal aspects of automated and
autonomous transport. The regulation of automated and autonomous
transport encompasses legislation on automated cars, ships,
vessels, and drones. Questions surrounding this novel area of the
law, which has attracted major worldwide interest and publicity,
are likely to dominate our societies and everyday life in the years
ahead. One major challenge addressed in this book is remedying the
regulatory fragmentation that can be observed around the globe
concerning legislation on automated and autonomous transportation
systems. Written and edited by respected experts in the field,
including academics and practitioners alike, this book seeks to
fill an important gap in the literature. Given its focus and scope,
the book will be of considerable interest to practitioners,
academics, and policymakers, judges, students and secondary
audiences, including engineers, sociologists, naval architects, all
those involved in the automated industry, and people working in AI.
