Billions of dollars are being spent on research and trials of autonomous vehicles globally. Tests are now taking place on Australian roads across a number of States and Territories.

The use of this technology is an exciting prospect for Australia, giving consumers the opportunity to experience first-hand how global research and trials play out on Australian roads and infrastructure.

But what does this mean for the legal landscape in Australia and how can you manage the opportunities and inherent risks?
