Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what representations he has received on the use of data and cyber security for autonomous vehicles; and if he will make a statement.

Government believes connected and automated vehicles should be “secure by design”. Government is working closely with industry and the relevant international bodies to achieve this as part of a much wider programme of activity to ensure public trust and acceptance of these technologies, which is vital to realising their significant potential benefits.
