It say:
It contains an interesting section on 'tampering'We are seeking powers to amend (or repeal and replace) retained relevant sections of EU law. This would allow such legislation to be updated to reflect technological changes and ensure GB law continues to be fit for purpose, enabling us to make regulations on the approval of the design, construction, marking and labelling of:
- vehicles
- vehicle parts and equipment
- engines for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM)
Does anybody know anymore about it? Is it aimed at people not hacking autonomous vehicles or could it also be applied to people chipping an ECU too?We will create new offences for tampering with a system, part or component of a vehicle intended or adapted to be used on a road. This will enable us to address existing gaps in the legislation, ensuring cleaner and safer vehicles. We will also create new offences for tampering with non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) and for advertising ‘tampering’ services or products.
The consultation period began on 28 September 2021 and will run until 11:45pm on 22 November 2021.
