Seeks views on several sections of the Automated Vehicles Act to support development of the regulatory framework. This framework will include rules, guidance and principles. We are also seeking to strengthen our understanding of accessibility, environmental and cost-benefit considerations.

We are asking for views on the following aspects of the automated vehicles regulatory framework:

  • type approval
  • authorisation, user-in-charge and transition demands
  • no-user-in-charge operator licensing
  • insurance
  • data collection
  • cyber security
  • in-use regulation
  • monetary penalties
  • incident investigation
