AutoExec Summary
The Australian Government is seeking public input on legislation for self-driving vehicles, aiming to establish safety and accountability standards for automated vehicles and operators. The consultation, ending on June 11, 2024, will shape new Commonwealth laws for Level 3, 4 and 5 autonomous vehicles entering the market from 2026. A new Automated Vehicle Safety Law will hold corporations responsible for the safety of automated driving systems, managed by the Automated Driving System Entity. The framework will ensure vehicle safety, proper skills for ADS management, and clear safety duties while on the road. The consultation will also explore measures to promote consumer understanding and control deployment risks.
