The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 passed into law in May. Full implementation, though, will require passing numerous regulations relating to operator licensing, marketing restrictions, information gathering, investigatory and monitoring powers, policing and adjustments to existing vehicle legislation. Many of these regulations will require consultations, starting with one on the foundational safety principles. Expect the publication of the statement of safety principles consultation in early 2025, with other consultations on regulations relating to authorisation, operator licensing and marketing restrictions to follow. Given the importance of insurers having a voice in how the UK's motor fleet and road network adapt to these new technologies, insurers should be prepared to offer detailed and considered responses to the consultations.
