Who regulates driverless cars?

The regulation of driverless cars is a complex area, with different rules emerging in various countries and even within different states in the US. In the UK, the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 is a significant step, aiming to establish a framework for safe deployment. This oversight is crucial for ensuring the safety claims, like Waymo's, are independently verified.
