LNB NEWS: Law Commission publishes advice on how to regulate remote driving

The Law Commission has published advice to the government on how to regulate remote driving on UK roads. 

Lexis®Library update: The advice is the combination of a review commissioned by the Department for Transport and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.

The advice to the government includes:

• short term measures to address gaps in the law

• safety measures

• a regulatory system to govern remote driving over the long term

• licences for remote driving operations

• safety concerns to justify a ban on remote driving from overseas

• criminal and civil liability for remote drivers
