In Canada, the regulation of motor vehicles, including autonomous vehicles (AVs), is divided between the federal and provincial governments, and their respective agencies. The federal government has jurisdiction over motor vehicle safety standards, import and export. The provinces are responsible for driver licensing, vehicle registration, traffic laws and motor vehicle insurance. In addition, any vehicles incorporating wireless technologies must meet technical standards and licensing requirements established by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
