New Rules for Autonomous Vehicle Testing and Road Transport Changes
This law establishes clear rules for testing autonomous vehicles on public roads, defining safety, liability, and oversight requirements. It also extends the use of bus lanes for electric and hydrogen vehicles and modifies public transport permit regulations.
Key points
Companies testing autonomous vehicles on public roads must obtain a special permit and meet strict safety conditions.
Definitions for automated and fully automated vehicles are introduced, along with six levels of automation, from no automation to full autonomy.
Mandatory third-party liability insurance (OC) is required for test vehicles, with the owner responsible for damages, similar to regular vehicles.
High financial penalties, ranging from PLN 20,000 to PLN 200,000, are imposed for conducting tests without a permit or violating its conditions.
The ability for electric, hydrogen cars, and motorcycles to use bus lanes has been extended until June 30, 2026.
An electronic system for managing international transport permits (EKMT) has been introduced, simplifying procedures for road carriers.
