BLIQ.AI WINS EU'S FIRST DRIVERLESS CAR APPROVAL

The approval permits Bliq.ai's remotely supervised autonomous vehicles to operate without a driver behind the wheel. The vehicles will be monitored from a distance by human operators. Estonia's decision positions the Baltic nation as a leader in autonomous vehicle regulation within the EU. Other member states have tested driverless technology but had not previously granted full operational approval for public road use. Bliq.ai joins a growing roster of autonomous vehicle companies seeking regulatory clearance across Europe. The startup's achievement comes as the EU develops broader frameworks for autonomous vehicle deployment. The approval applies specifically to operations in Estonia, though it may influence regulatory approaches in other European jurisdictions. Bliq.ai's remote supervision model differs from fully autonomous systems operating without human oversight.
