Cullen International has published a new benchmark on national strategies and legislation on automated vehicles. The benchmark shows the different policy and regulatory aspects relevant for the development of automated cars in 11 selected European countries.

In particular, the new benchmark shows whether the researched countries have:

• developed a national strategy on automated vehicles;
• set a timeline for the deployment of automated vehicles;
• allowed the testing of automated vehicles on public roads or are conducting pilot projects;
• adopted specific civil liability regimes for automated vehicles; and
• imposed specific cybersecurity requirements for automated vehicles.

Our research reveals that only Austria, France, Germany and the UK of the 11 researched countries adopted a strategy on automated vehicles. View map

In addition, the research shows that, of the eleven countries researched, civil liability regimes for testing or full deployment of automated vehicles exist only in Italy, Spain and UK. View overview
