This time we are joined by Jan-Philipp “JP” Günther-Burmeister (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-philipp-g%C3%BCnther-burmeister-4b3421106/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-philipp-g%C3%BCnther-burmeister-4b3421106/)), a Lawyer practicing for more than 5 years in Germany. The New Law The Federal Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure published a press release: Germany will be the world leader in autonomous driving https://www.bmvi.de/SharedDocs/EN/Articles/DG/act-on-autonomous-driving.html (https://www.bmvi.de/SharedDocs/EN/Articles/DG/act-on-autonomous-driving.html) Together with JP, we are talking about the newest update/amendment / Novellierung of an already existing traffic law. As we will see in the interview, not all aspects are covered yet and complete autonomous driving is not yet permitted, BUT the law allows for semi-autonomous driving with a remote controlling human taking over control if needed. Lawyers are not sure yet about how many vehicles such a remote operator could control, but more than one is certain. This may open up opportunities for fleets for remote-controlled trucks, buses, cabs, and delivery vans steered by a handful of people with a normal workday, working in shifts from a control center, or even from home.
