Autonomous vehicles law

Autonomous vehicles law governs automated driving functions across public roads, logistics, public transport and private sites. Key questions concern vehicle type approval, permissible testing, responsibility between user, operator, manufacturer and software provider, traffic-rule compliance, accident investigation, data recording, cybersecurity and insurance coverage. Swiss law is relevant through road traffic rules, federal approval processes and cantonal enforcement, while developments in EU vehicle standards influence practice. Contracts and compliance programmes should address updates, remote monitoring, human override, incident reporting and allocation of liability.
