Today, Wednesday, a United Nations panel approved a recommendation to raise the speed limit for self-driving cars in certain parking lots, from 60 to 130 kilometers per hour.
International experts at the International Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations agreed on the recommendations put forward by a working group earlier this month.
The regulations are expected to become effective in January, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe said, which said the European Union is handling the implementation process.
There are more than 50 member states of the Convention around the world, including the 27 member states of the European Union.
