In this article, Shoosmiths and KPMG explore some of the key policy and business implications for organisations deploying connected and automated mobility (CAM) in the UK market.
The Automated Vehicles Act (the AV Act) came into force on 20 May 2024. This important piece of legislation signals a major step towards the widescale adoption and use of CAM within the UK. As Primary Legislation, the Act provides the overarching framework needed to accelerate the development and commercialisation of CAM: the race is now on to establish the secondary legislation and business models to deliver this technology.
This article explores some of the key policy and business implications of the evolving regulatory landscape, and the implications for organisations deploying CAM in the UK market, including:
- the CAM opportunity
- the CAM policy context
- stages of CAM adoption
- regulatory obstacles and uncertainty
- international regulations
- accelerating the deployment of CAM
- the UK’s suitability
