Norway wants to launch unmanned cars to roads in 2017, and China plans to create uniform standards for them by 2018

The Norwegian government plans to adopt laws in the spring of 2017 that would allow the same year to start testing unmanned vehicles on public roads, Reuters reports.

According to the agency, thanks to generous state subsidies, Norway is one of the largest markets for Tesla Motors electric vehicles, which last fall has produced equipment and new software for completely unmanned movement. Norway wants to support this undertaking by providing his roads to test such machines.

- Rosavtodor called on carriers to prepare for the retraining of truckers: they will soon be replaced by unmanned technologies

He does not want to lag behind the race of unmanned technologies and China, whose authorities intend to create uniform standards for unmanned cars by 2018, writes Autonews . In October of this year, the country's government has already adopted a 450-page "road map" of the development of the industry, and somewhere in a year it will be added to the standards of V2V data exchange systems (Vehicle-to-Vehicle, "car-V2i) and V2i, (Vehicle-to-in-in-in-in-INFRASTRUCTURE," car-infrastructure "). Road departments in the United States are now actively working on these standards, where earlier this year the Ministry of Transport issued the first list with official requirements for manufacturers of unmanned vehicles.

Recall that in the United States already 16 states in one form or another allow road testing of unmanned vehicles. This year, testing of the first unmanned taxi on the streets of Singapore began. The UK also stated the intention to open city roads for testing the drones - it is planned that Volvo will bring its autonomous cars to London’s roads in 2017.
