**Affirmed position.** Autonomous Transport Innovation : the regulatory environment of autonomous vehicles presents the following source proposition: A review of the regulatory environment for autonomous vehicles is necessary to define rules imposed on technology or operations of autonomous vehicles in various capacities. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Rulemakers rely almost exclusively on stable and presumptively optimal rules meant to be permanent solutions, and that reliance ignores the ever changing rule environment driven by exponential growth in technology and innovation. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
