Global autonomous driving regulatory developments

Overview

Regulatory discussions regarding autonomous vehicle integration are intensifying in Italy and China. In Rome, experts have highlighted challenges such as narrow streets and high pedestrian density, suggesting protocols like geofencing and mandatory safety drivers to manage urban safety and liability. Concurrently, China has proposed draft revisions to traffic safety laws that would shift legal accountability for violations from the driver to the manufacturer when a vehicle is in fully autonomous mode.

In Europe, the regulatory landscape is shifting toward formalizing automated driving. Italy’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has drafted a new Highway Code to incorporate SAE levels 3 to 5 into the legal system, aiming to resolve existing regulatory ambiguities. While Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system has reached 100 million kilometers driven in select EU member states, its wider expansion across the continent remains contingent on ongoing regulatory debates and decisions from Brussels.
