It is agreed: Autonomous vehicles can be up to 130 kilometers per hour.
On certain routes, suitable cars are now allowed to drive autonomously with up to 130 kilometers per hour drive. This now applies to all states that have signed the UN Transport Harmonization Treaty.
Cars and light commercial vehicles that level 3 and can therefore drive autonomously to a limited extent, are now allowed to accelerate up to 130 km/h. Previously, only 60 kilometers per hour were allowed. The semi-autonomous vehicles have to drive on freeways. However, the system for partial autonomy, such as the lane departure warning system (ALKS), must be able to be deactivated at any time and the human must be able to take control of the vehicle again.
The individual states must adopt the regulation in their own regulations, which will probably not happen before 2023. In this country has only Mercedes Benz a corresponding one model on the market. Otherwise sold Honda a Level 3 model in Japan.
In the event of liability, all processes of the system must be saved. Furthermore, requirements for the commissioning of these vehicles are regulated. These include, for example, specifications for type approval or tests.
