The BVRLA has responded to the Government’s consultation on the rules on safe use of automated vehicles on British roads ahead of the Automated Lane Keeping Systems consultation, due out later this year.

The BVRLA has submitted a response to the safe use rules for automated vehicles

The Government has set out how vehicles fitted with Automated Lane Keeping System technology could legally be defined as self-driving if they receive GB type approval and there is no evidence to challenge the vehicle’s ability to self-drive.

BVRLA response to Law Commission consultation on Autonomous Vehicles

The Department for Transport has published a new report estimating that self-driving technology will be present in 40% of all new UK car sales by 2035, with a total market value of £41.7 billion.

Members will have the opportunity to help shape the future about a topic that will have a far-reaching impact with a say on the Law Commission’s consultation on autonomous vehicles.

The Government is considering the future regulatory environment for autonomous vehicles and the BVRLA needs to hear more views from members.

The BVRLA has submitted a response to a call for evidence from the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles on the safe use of Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) on GB motorways.

Zenzic (formerly Meridian) has updated its UK Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) Roadmap to 2030, having received input from 117 'CAM Creators' from across the UK.

The Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) is consulting on any potential legislation or regulation it needs to put in place to support the introduction of Automated Lane Keeping Systems, which can take control of a vehicle at low speeds, keeping it in lane on motorways.

This consultation was the second from the Law Commission who have been tasked to review the regulatory framework for the safe deployment of automated vehicles in the UK. The second consultation relates to the regulation of highly automated road passenger services (HARPS).

The BVRLA will this year host its first Future Mobility Congress on 4 July. This one-day event replaces the previous Fleet Technology Congress and will include expert analysis and debate giving members and guests vital insight to inform their business strategy.
