A review of remote driving has recommended that the government urgently provides clarity in the legislation around the new technology
The Law Commission has recommended that, in the short term, the government uses a prohibition measure to address gaps in existing legislation.
Such a measure could require companies wanting to use remote driving beyond line of sight, on roads, without an in-vehicle safety driver, to apply for a Special Vehicle Order permit. Public law commissioner Nicholas Paines KC said: “Our advice concludes that in the immediate term, the government would be able to address some gaps in the law around remote driving using existing powers, while also providing a path for companies to use the technology lawfully provided that their systems are safe.One firm's goal to replace car ownership with remotely driven rentals
Such a system would need to cover the concerns mentioned above, as well as establishing safety standards and licensing. As for legal liability, the Law Commission has recommended that remote drivers should not be liable for problems beyond their control, such as those caused by connectivity problems or faulty equipment. In these cases, the companies should be subject to sanctions or prosecution.
