Abstract
Australia’s laws do not currently support the use of automated vehicles. Australia is currently working towards a goal of developing end-to-end regulation to support the safe commercial deployment of automated vehicles at all levels of automation. This chapter outlines the problem that Australia is trying to address and the key challenges. It outlines five key reforms that the National Transport Commission is leading on control, safety at first market entry, on road safety, insurance and data.
