Draft rules to become effective by end of May following feedback from public

Last week, Japan’s National Police Agency (NPA) unveiled draft rules for testing driverless vehicles on public roads, The Japan Times reported on 13 April. The draft rules will be effective by end of May following feedback from the public. “The development of automated driving could help the elderly secure a means of transportation, slash the number of traffic accidents and ease traffic congestion,” The Japan Times quoted a NPA official as saying.
