REPORT on autonomous driving in European transport PDF (242 KB) DOC (91 KB)
Amendments (15)
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the overwhelming majority of road accidents are due to human errorhuman error contributes to a majority of collisions and, as such, there is an imperative need to reduce the possibilities for such errors, while maintaining personal mobility;
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)
Recital C a (new)
C a. whereas automation and deployment of new technology will increase the safety of transport and transport systems and eliminate some of the human factors; whereas in parallel with automation both the diversity and condition of transport systems in different member states should be taken into account; whereas existing and new transport systems need to be build and equipped to be safe before automation can be done;
Amendment 35 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Underlines the need for Europe to join forces in order to reach and maintain a globally leading position in autonomous transport; therefore calls on the Commission to establish a Joint Undertaking similar to e.g. Clean Sky to create an industry driven strategic initiative on autonomous transport, which should be compelling for the European citizens, make significant commercial sense and be based on wide collaboration of industrial, public and academic world in order to create a globally scalable multi-modal transport system for autonomous transport;
Amendment 74 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Underlines that fully autonomous vehicles will be commercially available by 2030 and that appropriate regulatory frameworks, ensuring their safe operation, need to be in place as soon as possible in order to address the resulting changes;
Amendment 83 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11 a. Underlines the importance of adopting an ambitious new General Safety Regulation for motorvehicles, given the short-term life-saving potential of mandated installation of new vehicle safety technologies, which will furthermore also be used for the deployment of connected and automated vehicles in the future;
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 c (new)
Paragraph 11 c (new)
11 c. Underlines the importance of adopting an ambitious new General Safety Regulation for motor vehicles, given the short-term life-saving potential of mandated installation of new vehicle safety technologies, which will furthermore also be used for the deployment of connected and automated vehicles in the future;
Amendment 87 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 b (new)
Paragraph 11 b (new)
11 b. Recalls that the development of the connected andautomated vehicles (CAVs) has been mainly driven by the technology push, and therefore urges the need to study and acknowledge the human and societal aspects of the development and ensure that the deployment of CAVs will fully respect the societal, human and environmental values and goals;
Amendment 95 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Underlines the need for clear legislation obligating the installation of event data recorders in line with the eCall Regulation5 in order to improve accident investigations as well as to clarify and enable the tackling, as soon as possible, of issues of liability; _________________ 5 OJ L 123, 19.5.2015, p. 77.
Amendment 116 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16 a. Acknowledges that road collisions with autonomous vehicles will still occur, notably in mixed traffic conditions; underlines therefore the importance of stringent passive safety requirements for those vehicles to be maintained in order to ensure the safety of both vehicle occupants as well as other road users, notably vulnerable road users;
Amendment 131 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20 a. Underlines the potential of automation to eliminate part of the human errors and allows the personnel on the bridge more time for optical observation especially in the narrow sea lanes and port areas; however, especially in close proximity with other ships the exchange of information and communication is imperative to safety and therefore bridges need to be kept staffed;
Amendment 139 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23
Paragraph 23
23. Calls on the Commission, togetherin consultation and coordination with the industry, to create common protocols and standards enabling autonomous train and light-rail systems;
Amendment 171 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28
Paragraph 28
28. Urges the Commission, together with the Member States, to propose initiatives promoting the skills and education needed to keep the EU at the forefront of the autonomous vehicletransport sector;
Amendment 173 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29
Paragraph 29
29. Recalls the EUR 300 000 000 dedicated under Horizon 2020 to research and innovation programmes on automated vehiclestransport from 2014 to 2020 and recommends that these automation programmes be continued and extended for all modes of transport, taking into account also the cooperation between the transport modes, in the next multiannual financial period for 2021-2027 (Horizon Europe);
Amendment 176 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29 a (new)
Paragraph 29 a (new)
29 a. Stresses on the importance collaborative research can play for a swift advancement on the automation of transport through the involvement of the whole innovation ecosystem; urges the Commission to ensure the continuation of existing collaborative research programmes within the next framework programme Horizon Europe 2021-2027 – such as the Shift2Rail JointUndertaking programme;
Amendment 179 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30
Paragraph 30
30. Stresses the need for real-life testing sites across the EU in order to thoroughly test and develop new technologies; urges each of the Member States to designate, by 2020, urban and extra-urban areas where autonomous research vehicles can be tested in real-life traffic conditions, whileprovided that the vehicle and/or technology is in the final stages of development and when it has already been proven during track tests that the automated vehicle drives safely, while also safeguarding road safety in those areas;
