Despite coming down hard on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, Germany isn’t totally against the concept of self-driving cars. The first step the country is going to take to realize this goal is to draft some laws, how appropriate. That sounds ambitious when most critics are saying that fully driverless vehicles are between at least five and 10 years away, at the absolute earliest in areas of low driving complexity. Back in July, Germany said that it was drafting legislation to permit Level 4 autonomous vehicles. It seems with the latest news, Germany is either reneging its stance and going the whole hog to regulate Level 5 driverless vehicles, or it’s just making more noise again with no real outcome.
