Autonomous vehicles: Applications and challenges in Greece

Despite these advances, the widespread adoption of autonomous driving in Greece faces significant challenges. The need for further infrastructure development, such as 5G networks, smart roads and sensor systems, is a key obstacle, while the legal framework remains inadequate, with issues such as liability in the event of an accident and insurance coverage needing clear regulations. In addition, the high cost of production and maintenance of autonomous vehicles makes them unaffordable for the average consumer, while public awareness and trust remain low due to concerns about the safety and reliability of the technology. Nevertheless, ongoing research efforts, pilot applications and enhanced public-private cooperation create optimism for the future of autonomous driving in the country.
