Will the RV occupants, excluding the occasional bathroom trip, not be tied to a chair with seat-belts? At least in my country seat-belts are required to be worn by law by all car occupants.
- ghaff 9y agoNot true in the US AFAIK. (It's on a state by state basis.)
- gambiting 9y agoIn the EU you can only have as many people in an RV as it has seats with seatbelts(while it's moving, obviously) and everyone has to be sitting and buckled up on the road. Anything over 3.5 tonnes(so most of these large ones count, but the modified Mercedes Sprinter from the article probably doesn't) requires a separate C class licence(so a licence to drive a truck basically).
- ljf 9y agoYes - but when/if we get safe(r) self driving vehicles will seatbelt laws change?
- gambiting 9y agoPresumably? Who knows? It's like trying to guess the weather. Personally I think truly autonomous level 5 vehicles are at least 50-100 years away, so wondering how will the laws change in half a century is a bit pointless.
