Key points
A National Research Coordinator will be established to issue permits for testing autonomous vehicles on public roads.
Six levels of automation are introduced: from 0 (no automation) to 5 (full automation without a driver).
Testing autonomous vehicles without a permit will result in a financial penalty of PLN 100,000 to 200,000.
Test vehicles must have a recorder capturing video and audio, and a person able to take control must be inside.
The permit fee is up to PLN 40,000 depending on the number of voivodeships, with part of the fee going to local governments.
The validity of permits for domestic bus transport is extended until June 30, 2026.
