ADELAIDE – South Australia’s Labor Government plans to allow driverless cars in regular traffic on the State’s public roads, under legislation to be introduced this week.Transport Minister Stephen Mullighan said that once
the legislation is passed, carmakers and technology companies will be
encouraged to test their autonomous vehicles on SA roads.
“All communities are going to go through a period of adjustment but I
think it’s absolutely critical to get this technology out in the community as
widely as possible and as quickly as possible because the benefits for the
community are extraordinary,” he said,
Mullighan told Australian IT he will be a guest of driverless car developer
Google X in California next week, along with a number of other regulators for
autonomous car technology, including reps from four US states, Britain and
France.
South Australia plans to stage a driverless car trial in November on Adelaide’s
Southern Expressway to coincide with a conference on the technology, but
Mullighan stressed that this does not require changes to the law, as the road
will be closed for that occasion.
