Regulatory Framework for Connected and Automated Vehicles in the UK
The UK has established a clear regulatory framework for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) to ensure safety and cyber resilience on roads. This framework includes new legal entities, authorizations, monitoring processes, and safety assurance phases. Key outputs from Law Commission reviews highlight the role of self-driving entities, fleet operators, and regulatory processes. The focus is on assuring safety, security, and liability transfer in the CAV ecosystem, with an emphasis on behavioral competence assessment of vehicles.
