    Stagecoach Group plc Response to the Joint Preliminary Consultation on Automated Vehicles Stagecoach Group plc (“Stagecoach Group”) welcomes the consultation by the Scottish and English Law Commissions on Automated Vehicles. Stagecoach Group is actively participating in trialling automated vehicles in both the depot and public transport environments, working with technology developers, vehicle manufacturers, academia and others. We welcome the consultation as another important initiative in this area. The consultation is wide – ranging in scope and some of the questions posed will be better able to be answered as more information and understanding of automated vehicles and their use in different scenarios emerges. Equally, we do not propose to respond to or comment on all questions but we offer views based on our experience to date as one of the UK’s biggest bus and coach operators, with some 8,000 buses and coaches operating in different environments across the UK. We look forward to future initiatives, particularly the planned consultation on automated vehicles in Mobility as a Service and the challenges of achieving “everything somewhere” later this year. Stagecoach Group: • Stagecoach is an international public transport group, with operations in the UK, the United States and Canada. • We are one of the UK's biggest bus and coach operators with over 8,000 buses and coaches on a network stretching from south-west England to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
