New rules for testing automated vehicles on public roads
The act introduces detailed rules for conducting research on automated and fully automated vehicles on Polish roads. It defines six levels of automation, requirements for permits, insurance, and liability for damages. For drivers, this means that test vehicles may appear on roads that, under certain conditions, operate without direct human supervision.
Key points
Testing automated cars on public roads will require a permit from the National Coordinator of Research Works.
Six levels of automation have been introduced – from 0 (no automation) to 5 (full automation, no driver).
The driver in a test vehicle must have a driving license and be ready to take over control (for levels 3 and 4).
Test vehicles must be equipped with image and sound recorders, and accident data must be stored for 12 months.
The owner of the automated vehicle is liable for damages, and third-party liability insurance is mandatory.
Fines for conducting research without a permit range from PLN 100,000 to PLN 200,000.
Until January 1, 2028, electric cars and motorcycles may use bus lanes (unless the road manager decides otherwise).
The validity of permits for regular bus services has been extended until June 30, 2026.
