  Despite the debate regarding the timeframe and rate of penetration of
Autonomous Vehicles, their potential benefits and implications have been widely
recognized. Therefore, assessing the readiness of individual countries to adopt
such technologies and adapt to their introduction is of particular importance.
This paper aims to enrich our understanding of EU readiness regarding the
introduction of autonomous vehicle technologies by assessing the case of
Greece. Thus, through a literature review, the criteria upon which such an
assessment should be based are established and analyzed. Subsequently, the case
of Greece is assessed based on those criteria by finding relevant sources that
support and justify any assessment. Regardless of the outcome concerning the
readiness of Greece, such an assessment should help identify areas in which
focus should be given in order to ensure a smoother transition to such
technologies. This contribution is expected to assist policy makers in Greece.
