Regulating Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Through a Lens of Inclusivity

Marson, James; Dickinson, Jill; Ferris, Katy

Abstract

Following concurrent global enthusiasm and concern regarding the introduction into public spaces of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), this paper critically examines the legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks around their introduction, focusing on the potential issues for the growing number of stakeholders with disabilities. Through adopting an internationally comparative approach, we apply the lens of inclusivity to explore these issues around CAV growth and deployment, specifically from a UK perspective, albeit we observe similar opportunities exist for legislators in Hong Kong. In so doing, we present recommendations for the development of a legislative framework adhering to key principles of consultation, collaboration, and communications with members of these stakeholder groups.
