The Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill sets out rules for automated and electric vehicles, how they are tested, and civil aviation. It also creates an offence for shining or directing a laser at a vehicle and allows courses to be used as an alternative to prosecution for some road traffic offences, with fees charged for those courses.
The bill is currently at Committee stage in the House of Commons, where MPs review and amend its detailed provisions.
