The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee has launched an inquiry into the future uses of driverless vehicles in the UK.
The Science and Technology Committee has a broad remit “to consider science and technology”. It scrutinises Government policy by undertaking cross-departmental inquiries into a range of different activities. These include:
In addition, the Committee undertakes shorter inquiries, either taking evidence from Ministers and officials on topical issues, or following up previous work.
The Committee is seeking written evidence from as wide an audience as possible and across a whole range of possible applications from cars to public transport. The list of questions is broad ranging:
The response window is fairly short – respondents have six weeks to submit their views. Written evidence on the issue must be received by Wednesday 26 October 2016. Thereafter, in November, the Committee will start taking oral evidence on the inquiry.
The Keoghs Market Affairs Team plan on drafting a submission to this inquiry a few weeks ahead of the deadline. If you would like a copy and/or would like to discuss this inquiry in more detail, please contact Samantha Ramen.
