Abstract

The rapid development of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology necessitates comprehensive legislative action in India to address various challenges and opportunities. This evaluation highlights the critical need for a robust regulatory framework to manage the deployment and operation of AV. Technological readiness in India is progressing, yet it requires clear guidelines to foster innovation. The country’s vast road infrastructure and city planning demands significant upgrades for safe AV integration. A dedicated legal framework is essential to establish standards for testing, liability, correctness and Safety concerns must be addressed through stringent testing and continuous monitoring to build public trust. Additionally, the AVs with EV benefits to eco-friendly environments, AV robust concept for reduce accidents and reduce of traffic congestion require policies to sustainable urban planning adaptations. Recommendations include formulating a dedicated AV policy, creating a regulatory body, fostering public-private partnerships, and promoting pilot projects. Legislative action is crucial for navigating the technological, infrastructural, and societal challenges, ensuring AVs contribute positively to India’s transportation landscape and sustaining the country as global manufacturer of AVs in future mobility.
