Similar to Alberta, Saskatchewan's AV industry is in the
early stages. There is interest to use the larger centres as cities
for winter AV testing and there are progressive voices pushing for
the industry to advance in the province.
Regulatory and Government Support for Autonomous Vehicles
Saskatchewan Government Insurance ("SGI"), the
province's Crown Corporation who administers The Traffic
Safety Act, is part of the Canadian Council of Motor and
Transport Administrators' Automated Vehicles Working Group
("CCMTA"), working to develop a regulatory framework
around AV. The province is in the initial stages of considering
legislative changes to regulate AV which are expected to be
introduced in the coming months. It is estimated that the proposed
changes would give SGI broad authority to regulate AV and that this
legislative change will be followed by more specific regulatory
amendments.
