UNECE rules, not EU unfortunately, so UK in the mix.Possible Brexit benefit?
Tesla treats UK as EU, doesn’t it?UNECE rules, not EU unfortunately, so UK in the mix.
However, UK does seem to be going for dual legislation with their Autonomous Vehicles Bill (going through parliament now), maybe UK can do something a littler different/sooner?
In order to be offered for sale, a vehicle must have been type-approved. This is the process whereby a vehicle is confirmed that it meets the minimum regulatory requirements. Many of the requirements that were retained in Great Britain when we left the European Union were developed internationally through the UN-ECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. The UK is a signatory to the Agreement under which these international regulations are made. UN-ECE Regulation 79, to which your constituent refers, is one which the UK has adopted and so is obliged to accept vehicles fitted with systems approved to that Regulation onto the road.
The UK is an active member of the UN-ECE forum and work has begun to review UN-ECE Regulation 79 in anticipation of allowing greater flexibility in what is permitted and address its current deficiencies. We will take the opportunity, in collaboration with other global partners, to consider if it is safe and appropriate to permit enhanced assistance in the Regulation and where
improvements should be made.
I do not think that is correct.I wouldn't hold my breathe. This is what the DfT told me a while ago via my MP
Which sounds to me like they are involved in making the current regs so are unlikely to diverge.
at the moment, yes.Tesla treats UK as EU, doesn’t it?
If they can be bothered, developing, testing and getting approved for a specific countries regulations is an expensive business.But should UK (or any other UNECE member state) allow their own separate rules, then Tesla are placed well to take advantage on a country by country basis I would think.
It is, lucky they charge so much for it. If 10k cars in the UK had it (which if it worked isn't unreasonable) at £6.8k a go thats £68m. The core engine is built, this is just needs to cover the localisation elements.If they can be bothered, developing, testing and getting approved for a specific countries regulations is an expensive business.
In the UK I find it remarkable that anyone elected to buy the FSD license, when there’s not even a vague timeline for a regulatory framework to even make the use of the FSD features possible, let alone any clarity on what those features offer in practical terms. I get that some will have bought a used vehicle with FSD already factory applied of courseFast forward 2034 and peeps will still be talking on here about FSD version 26.0.0 or similar.
Glad that one by one, peeps come to terms with autonomous cars roaming around the countryside as a pipe dream for decades atleast.
Approving/monitoring every decision now - is a joke to say the least. I feel sorry for those out there who parted with thousands of pounds for a FSD bolt on only to realise that it is a marketing gimmick with no teeth.
It’s going to be a repeat of the Optimus thing with a guy dancing around pretending to be a robot.Robotaxi will be announced (again) 8/8.. I can’t for the life of me think it will anywhere other than the US, and it might be a new car shape, maybe one where the front seats face the backwards so we can all get in and chat whilst being driven along.. no steering wheel.. but whatever it looks like, it needs FSD to be L4+ which is a legal mile away from where it is now.
And yet Reuters are being slammed by the faithful for market manipulation. It’s the type of thing where those with extreme views either way show their colours - I guess I’m more in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” camp now when it comes to Tesla hence a touch of cynicism.It’s going to be a repeat of the Optimus thing with a guy dancing around pretending to be a robot.
This Robotaxi will probably drive a predefined route, picking up an employee, before driving a bit further. Probably all remote controlled with one of those Tamiya RC car transmitters.
It’s a shameless attempt to pump the stock in my opinion.
