Policy development Part 6: Adaptation of existing regimes
Part 6 of the Act makes provision for the adaptation of existing regimes. Such provision includes, for example, the power to amend the type-approval framework in assimilated legislation to make it more suitable for automated vehicles, the modification of roadside testing and inspection powers for the purpose of ascertaining whether requirements under this Act are satisfied, and a power to require that traffic regulation orders are provided in digital form so that they may be used by self-driving vehicles.
