Automotive under the EU AI Act: Your Compliance Guide

Autonomous-driving and driver-monitoring AI hits the highest-risk tier because it touches safety. Expect substantial technical documentation and conformity assessments. Suppliers and integrators share obligations across the supply chain.

Do you come under the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act reaches any company whose AI output is used in the European Union — regardless of where the company is based. If your product has EU users or clients, the rules apply to you. The first question is always the same: which risk tier does your system fall into, and what duties come with that tier?

Which risk tier applies to you?

The Act sorts AI into four tiers: prohibited (banned outright), high-risk (heavy duties), limited-risk (transparency only), and minimal-risk (no mandatory duties). Most software starts in limited or minimal risk. The expensive surprises live in high-risk and prohibited — which is exactly why scanning early matters.
