Today, the legal systems of different countries are faced with the problem of regulating the use of highly automated road transport. Such a vehicle may fulfill part of the functions of the driver or even, potentially, replace it completely. Different approaches to the problem of regulation give rise to different solutions. The presented article is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of the operation of highly automated cars. The problems of terminology are touched on, approaches to legal regulation in this area in different states are described. It is concluded that currently in Russia the legal basis for the use of unmanned vehicles has not yet been fully formed and there are a number of issues that need to be regulated. Based on the study, the author formulates proposals for amendments and additions to the legislation of the Russian Federation related to the operation of highly automated cars.
