Workshop I: Automated Vehicles on Slovak Roads: Law, Technology and Business
What determines whether automated vehicles make it from testing into everyday operation? The discussion will bring together legal, technical and business perspectives on the conditions for their deployment in Slovakia. It will focus on demonstrating safety, the limits of the technology’s capabilities, the role of the human, and the predictability of regulatory requirements. The panellists will also address the new Act No. 248/2026 Coll. and its significance for the testing and operation of automated vehicles and for the provision of transport services using them. Attention will also be paid to how legal and technical requirements affect costs, investment decisions and business opportunities. Drawing on concrete examples, the panellists will seek to answer the question of what developers, operators and public authorities need so that a technically feasible solution can be used safely and sustainably in practice.
Participants:
- doc. JUDr. Jozef Andraško, PhD. – Faculty of Law, Comenius University Bratislava (moderator)
- doc. Ing. Marek Galiński, PhD. – Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava

Workshop II: Traffic Accidents Involving Automated Vehicles – Data Collection and Preservation
Who should collect data from an automated vehicle in the event of a traffic accident, and when? What data should be collected? The discussion will bring together legal and technical perspectives on preserving and collecting data from automated vehicles involved in traffic accidents. The panellists will examine what data is generated in a traffic accident and what legal and technical requirements apply to its collection. They will also seek to answer the question of what law enforcement authorities, forensic experts and manufacturers themselves need in this area.
Participants:
- Mgr. Petra Dražová, PhD. – Faculty of Law, Comenius University Bratislava
- doc. Ing. Lukáš Šoltés, PhD. – Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava
