Recommendation 6
6
Accepted
Self-driving vehicles must not impose new burdens on other road users or pedestrians.

The introduction of self-driving vehicles to the UK’s roads will affect all road users. We believe that this should not impose new responsibilities on other road users and pedestrians, limit their access to, or use of, public infrastructure or, crucially, make them less safe. (Paragraph 64) 36 Self-driving vehicles What other risks do self-driving vehicles pose?
