Part 1: Regulatory scheme for automated vehicles Chapter 6: Other regulatory powers and duties Section 38: General monitoring duty
This section places a requirement on the Secretary of State to ensure that the general performance of authorised automated vehicles is monitored and assessed in a way that is effective and proportionate, as opposed to the specific performance of individual vehicles. This requirement requires an assessment of whether performance of the self-driving fleet is consistent with the Statement of Safety Principles made under section 2.
	Subsections 38 (3) and (4) require that the Secretary of State publishes a yearly report setting out their conclusions from the monitoring and assessment of self-driving vehicle performance.
