Australia's NTC (National Transport Commission) has said there should be no drink-driving limitations imposed on people using fully automated vehicles, but current rules should still apply for partially automated cars. The proposal is part of the independent statutory body's attempts to overhaul the country's regulations ahead of the wider deployment of self-driving vehicles, which some predict could be as soon as 2020. The National Transport Commission will present its recommendations next year.
