Policy development Part 1 and Schedules 1 and 2: Establishing a regulatory scheme for automated vehicles Chapter 3: Provision of information by regulated bodies
Safety assurance relies heavily on information provided by the ASDE and NUiC operator to the regulator, both in their safety cases and in subsequent submissions. Chapter 3 makes provision for the sharing of information by ASDE/NUiC operators with the Secretary of State and others.
	The functioning of the safety framework relies on good quality information being provided. The Law Commissions found existing offences such as corporate manslaughter, fraud and Health and Safety offences left gaps, and new offences were necessary. The process would be undermined by any lack of candour. The provisions therefore put in place specific criminal offences for misrepresentations and non-disclosure that have implications for vehicle safety.
