A joint report on the safe introduction of self-driving vehicles has been published by the Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission this week
It distinguishes between ‘driver assisted’ and ‘self-driving’ vehicles and suggests minimum safety and compliance standards. Kennedys partner Niall Edwards said: ‘The devil, of course, will be in how the details are developed by government, but we feel―subject to a closer review of the report itself―that our insurer clients will be broadly supportive that the Law Commissions have taken on board many of the practical points we raised on their behalf.’
