Germany is preparing to implement a new law that will allow remote control of vehicles, starting from December 1, 2025. This regulation, known as the 'Strassenverkehr-Fernlenk-Verordnung', will enable drivers to control cars via a console and video screens, without being present in the vehicle. German authorities have announced a five-year testing period to assess the effectiveness and safety of this driving method.
The new law imposes strict standards to prevent technical risks, such as signal delays, which must not exceed 200 milliseconds. This initiative is part of a broader process of automation and digitalization of transport, aimed at increasing safety and efficiency in traffic. It is also expected to contribute to reducing carbon emissions and facilitate car sharing, a practice that is becoming increasingly popular among young people. Testing will initially be limited to controlled areas and authorized companies, but experts are optimistic that this technology will transform the way we move.
