Chamber approves rules for driverless cars

The Chamber of Deputies approved an amendment to the Road Traffic Act, which will regulate the conditions of autonomous vehicles, that is driverless cars, in the future. For example, people in the driver's seat will not be allowed to drink alcohol and will have to take over the driving when called upon. The draft proposes the establishment of a Road Transport Inspectorate. The Inspectorate will inspect technical inspection stations or overloaded trucks. It also regulates so-called demand-oriented transport. The amendment will now go to the Senate for approval.
