The National Council of the Slovak Republic approved legislation that creates a legal framework for the deployment and use of fully automated vehicles on Slovak roads. The new rules are meant to regulate their operation, remote oversight, and the responsibility of individual participants. teraz.sk ↗
Part of the legal regulation will be the institute of a license for the operator of an automated vehicle. The legislation is also meant to set conditions for the functioning of a supervision operator, who will provide remote control of the vehicle.
For breaches of obligations, the Ministry of Transport will be able to impose a fine of between 5,000 and 50,000 euros on the holder of the operator's license. The supervision operator may receive a fine of between 1,000 and 5,000 euros. The amount of the sanction will depend on the specific breach of obligations under the new rules.
The legal framework is meant to allow for the gradual introduction of automated vehicles into road traffic in Slovakia. The regulation concerns primarily fully automated vehicles, in which steering during operation will not be ensured by a driver directly in the vehicle. zive.sk ↗
The approval of the legislation represents another step toward regulating technologies that may, in the future, change the way people travel and how road transport functions. Their use, however, will be conditional on fulfilling licensing, operational, and supervisory obligations.
