Abstract
Innovations related to transportation as autonomy of vehicles, connectivity, electrification and shared mobility are already driving substantial transformation in the automotive industry. Powerful mixture of these mobility innovations will positively influence the environmental effect of the transportation and will improve the life quality of millions of people in the next decades. Autonomous or self-driving car is no longer a futurist idea. It exists and can perform in different scenarios successfully. More and more technological solutions are developed to able to fulfil these goals, but the legislative environment is an important enabler as well. In this research, first the main environmental effects as green-house-gas and NOx emissions are considered and later the legal framework is described as a key enabler that can open the door to self-driving cars.
