“Commencement of sections 5 and 6: review of the MOT regime
(1) Before making regulations commencing sections 5 and 6 of this Act, the Secretary of State must undertake a review of whether the MOT regime is fit for purpose in light of the changes to the regulation of automated vehicles introduced by this Act.
(2) The review must in particular assess whether an MOT adequately covers the testing of both mechanical and software components of an automated vehicle.”
