우리나라 자율주행자동차법안(자율주행자동차 개발 촉진 및 상용화 기반조성에 관한 법률안)의 주요내용 분석과 시사점

Although automated vehicles are the representative technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution and many domestic and foreign companies are promoting research and development for the commercialization of automated vehicles, the current "automobile management law" only has a basis for the general definition and temporary permit, but lacks legal basis for the operation areas and safety standards that are the basis for commercialization. In fact, many legal and institutional support has to be provided for automated vehicles to operate like conventional cars in real life. With the Korean government also aiming to commercialize Level 3 automated vehicles by 2020, this legislation at the National Assembly level is very welcome, regardless of what the bill contains. It would be very desirable to introduce high-tech new technologies, which have never been found before, into our lives, to provide convenience in individuals' lives, thereby improving the quality of objective life and ultimately improving the quality of subjective life, leading to a happy life. Along with the happiness of personal life, if the introduction of state-of-the-art new technologies in our society enhances the welfare of society as a whole, public welfare and leads the development of the national economy by maximizing productivity and efficiency. this will contribute to the growth and development of individuals, society, the country. To contribute to the growth and development of all, these new technologies must be given legal value and meaning, and they must go through legal procedures to be applied in our lives. We hope that the proposed bill – the Bill on Promotion of Development of Automated Vehicles and Establishment of the Foundation for Commercialization - will contribute to personal well-being and be drafted in a manner consistent with the constitutional values of promoting public welfare and maintaining order of society and the nation. Hopefully, this proposed bill will turn into a law that can contribute to the improvement of the national living environment and the development of the national economy as the purpose of the bill is presented.
