View the feedback we have received on the Automated vehicle safety reforms consultation paper.
Clearly someone has to be responsible for the driving of the automated vehicle. I feel like it should be optional as to whether it's the owner of the vehicle which might be a natural person, OR the corporate operator of the package of automations.
I think that's ridiculous. The company should have to create a registration process (agreeing to laws and legislative jurisdictions) to operate the package of automations, but being registered in Australia is far too restrictive.
It's a good start but should be treated as a BETA package for review as vehicles enter the space.
Seems appropriate
ADS suspension should enforce the support centre to disable the ADS on any associated vehicles upon notice

Most likely, it's very dynamic. It will need to move quickly over time.
Vehicles need remote diagnosis capability without needing a return to base model. No, no point in centres being in Australia. Everything can be handled from anywhere. Just need to make sure that the hours of support operation cover our normal days and nights
Sure, but there are a wide range of consumer knowledge levels and capability of understanding. This one is difficult. I know exactly what I'm buying and why. There's also an issue with company cars being provided to employees whereby the employer knows what they've bought but there needs to be obligations on the employer to provide suitable information and education to the employee before they utilitise the vehicle. I don't like to suggest a License Class being introduced, but I guess it's an option. Let's face it there are a lot of dumb people around, and some of them can afford such a vehcle.
Yes, but probably a 3 strikes type scenario, or a notice and then an offence.
The predictions on the volume of equipped vehicles and timeframes are way off. This will be a waterfall. There are a large number of ready to go vehicles on Australian Roads now. Once the initial scepticism is over; massive numbers of vehicles will be enabled overnight.
DEFINITELY !
As a whole, yes. It needs to be dynamic though a sthis space will change QUICKLY !
Tricky one. There are a large number of Teslas on the road in Australia today which are fully hardware equipped. an OTA (over the air) software update could enable these vehicles overnight. So the vehicles are already here. Version 12 of Tesla Software is live in teh US and has coverage of roughly 1.6 Million km / day at present.
Probably
