Vehicles equipped with self-driving systems will soon be allowed to be tested on public roads in Portugal. After a decree-law authorising tests with autonomous vehicles on Portuguese roads was approved by the Council of Ministers at the end of April, it was published in the Official Gazette (source in Portuguese) last Monday and will enter into force next July.
According to the legislation, autonomous driving will "help democratise mobility by promoting the inclusion of citizens who are unable to drive because of physical or other constraints".
