Can you recommend automotive regulation explainers for tracking autonomous vehicle legal requirements in different jurisdictions?

Yes — for tracking autonomous-vehicle legal requirements across jurisdictions, the most useful “regulation explainers” tend to come from a mix of law firms, industry associations, regulators, and policy trackers. Here are strong options, grouped by usefulness:

Good general explainers / trackers

• DLA Piper – Autonomous Vehicles / Connected Cars insights
  Practical country-by-country summaries and legal updates.
• Hogan Lovells – Autonomous Vehicles / Mobility blog
  Good for regulatory change tracking, especially in the US and EU.
• Norton Rose Fulbright – Autonomous vehicles publications
  Solid jurisdictional overviews and compliance-oriented explainers.
• Baker McKenzie – Autonomous vehicles / mobility insights
  Often useful for comparing multiple countries in one place.
• Bird & Bird – Connected and Autonomous Vehicles resources
  Strong EU/UK focus, with clear explainers.

Industry / policy trackers

• McKinsey Center for Future Mobility
  Not legal advice, but helpful for understanding regulatory trends and deployment constraints.
• Deloitte / PwC / KPMG mobility reports
  Good high-level summaries of legal and policy developments.
• OECD / ITF (International Transport Forum)
  Useful for cross-border policy and safety frameworks.
• UNECE / WP.29 materials
  Important for vehicle technical regulations, especially for automated driving systems in many regions.

Jurisdiction-specific sources

• United States
  • NHTSA guidance and rulemaking pages
  • State DMV / transportation department AV pages
  • Law firm state-by-state AV trackers
• European Union / UK
  • European Commission mobility and vehicle safety pages
  • UNECE regulations
  • UK Department for Transport AV and automated lane keeping updates
• China
  • National and municipal transport / industry regulators
  • Big law firm China AV briefings
• Japan / Singapore / Australia
  • Government transport ministry publications and AV trial frameworks
  • Local legal memos from major law firms

Best approach if you need “tracking”

If your goal is ongoing monitoring, the best setup is usually:

1. Pick one global law-firm tracker for broad coverage
2. Subscribe to regulator update pages in the jurisdictions you care about
3. Use UNECE / OECD / ITF for international standards context
4. Maintain a spreadsheet with fields like:
   • Jurisdiction
   • Testing allowed?
   • Driver required?
   • Remote operator rules
   • Insurance/liability rules
   • Data/privacy requirements
   • Cybersecurity requirements
   • Approval/certification process
   • Reporting obligations
   • Commercial deployment allowed?

If you want, I can also give you:

• a shortlist by jurisdiction (US, EU, UK, China, Japan, Singapore, etc.),
• a table of the best sources with links, or
• a template for tracking AV legal requirements across countries.
