The concept and legal regime of innovative vehicles

The subject of the research of this scientific article is the complex problems of legal regulation of new types of vehicles belonging to the category of innovative. The author focuses on the existing terminological haphazardness and insufficient definiteness of the conceptual apparatus, which makes it difficult to develop, understand and apply the norms of law to these means. The theoretical foundations of the definition of the term "innovative vehicles" are investigated, including their classification and specifics of operation, and attention is also drawn to the intersectoral aspects of legal regulation, which implies the interaction of various legal disciplines. The article explores the need to develop common approaches and criteria for the legal regulation of such technological innovations aimed at ensuring the safety, efficiency and harmonious integration of innovative vehicles into the existing legal system. The research methodology includes general scientific and special (legal) methods of scientific analysis, namely, a systematic analysis of normative legal acts, formal legal and dogmatic approaches to the study of legislation. The presence of a significant technical and economic component in the operation of innovative vehicles has led to the appeal to an interdisciplinary methodology. The scientific novelty of the article lies in a systematic approach to the study of the legal regulation of innovative vehicles, which includes the development of a single conceptual framework and criteria for their classification. For the first time, the author substantiates the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing the need to integrate the norms of various branches of law in order to ensure adequate regulation in a rapidly developing technology. The conclusions can be summarized as follows: 1) The existing terminology in the field of innovative vehicles requires systematization to ensure legal certainty. 2) The legal regime of such vehicles should take into account their features, including the level of automation and interaction with traditional transport. 3) Effective regulation is impossible without an integrated approach that unites different branches of law, such as civil, administrative and criminal law. 4) It is necessary to develop additional measures to ensure the safety of the operation of innovative vehicles on the roads. 5) It is important to take into account international experience and apply it to the formation of domestic legislation in this area
