OPINION on autonomous driving in European transport
Amendments (14)
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas in 2016 moautomated driving systems failure than 25 000 people lost their lives on EU roads and a further 135 000 were seriously injureds caused a number of accidents, some of them fatal, making it essential to verify the reliability of vehicles fitted with such systems and maintain a central human override function, ensuring that all vehicles with higher degrees of automation can still be driven by humans;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion
Recital A a (new)
Recital A a (new)
Aa. whereas advantage should be taken of the opportunities offered by technological innovation in the automation sector, for example through enhanced driver assistance systems to improve the safety and efficiency of existing vehicles and promote increasingly safe and sustainable mobility; whereas, on the other hand, the improvement of driver assistance technologies would avoid a number of critical issues regarding automated vehicles, such as over-reliance on automated driving systems or misuse thereof, which could undermine the social and environmental benefits or even detract from road safety, worsen congestion and increase emissions, in addition to raising serious ethical issues regarding the hypothetical situation where all vehicles are automated and its uncertain and unpredictable social repercussions, including the impact on jobs;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas human error is estimated to play a decisive role in the majority of road accidents, and hence driverlessautomated vehicles are expected to improve road safety; whereas driverlessautomated vehicles could bring mobility to those who are unable to drive, encourage car-sharing schemes and optimise the use of public transportation systems and infrastructures by relieving traffic congestion, and thereby contribute to meeting climate targetsthe proposed 2030 climate and energy targets, in line with the long term decarbonisation objective of the Union and with its commitments under the Paris Agreement;
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion
Recital B a (new)
Recital B a (new)
B a. whereas transport was listed by the Commission in its Communication of 23 November 2017 "Communication on strengthening Europe's energy networks"1a among those sectors where electricity will be crucial for decarbonisation, hence electric mobility based on renewable energy sources is to be fostered while phasing out fossil fuels, with a view to speeding the transition to a net-zero GHG economy by 2050 at the latest; _________________ 1a COM(2017) 718
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas the Commission expects the new market for automated and connected vehicles to grow exponentially, with revenues estimated to exceed EUR 620 billion by 2025 for the EU automotive industry and EUR 180 billion for the EU electronics sector; whereas the importance of investing in research and innovation in this area lies in its inter- and intra-sector spillovers, in order to enhance those technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems, that could reach the same objectives in terms of increasing road safety and combating congestions and emissions within a shorter timeframe and with less uncertainties and potential drawbacks;
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Calls on the Commission, in view of the global nature of the automotive industry, to urgently accelerate negotiations at UN level and to present future regulatory changes in line with UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) outcomes and within the current legal framework of the 1968 Vienna Convention; calls on the Commission to devote particular focus to common standards on vehicle safety, type approval and cyber security, and to amendments to the 1968 Vienna Convention permitting driverless vehicles, fair and equal access to in- vehicle generated data and cyber security;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Underlines that procedures related to automated vehicles throughout their lifetime should be as standardised, transparent and verifiable as possible, namely that studies and R&D programmes comply with the principle of Open Science, as established by the Horizon Europe Regulation, that testing is performed on open roads and in real driving conditions, and that software updates are subject to the same standards and requirements which vehicle approvals are based on; to this end, calls on Member States to ensure enhanced levels of market surveillance, including periodical inspections;
Amendment 43 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Declares that all data transfers between the in-vehicle system, the manufacturer’s central server, other vehicles and road infrastructure must be protected from unauthorised disclosure and manipulation; urges the Commission to issue a legislative proposal regulating storage and access of in-vehicle generated data, in line with the GDPR Regulation and with the five guiding principles elaborated under the C-ITS framework, and with a view to equipping vehicles with on-board open telematics platforms, which are to grant all service providers safe and secured real-time access to data and bi-directional communication;
Amendment 54 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. stresses that data registered in the vehicles' black boxes should be made available to public authorities, especially if requested for investigations and judiciary proceedings;
Amendment 56 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. declares that data of public interest, namely those on emissions and environmental performances, should be made available as widely as possible in anonymised and disaggregated format;
Amendment 67 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Commission, the Council and the Member States to finalise high-speed network coverage, as missing coverage, especially in border regions, makes the cross-border operation of automated and connected vehicles impossible.; concerning digital network coverage, urges the Commission, the Council and Member States to apply the precautionary principle before any extensive roll-outs of 5G or Wi-Fi networks, especially in high density population and sensitive areas such as kindergartens, schools, recreation centres, playgrounds and in natural protected areas, in order to ensure the protection of public health and the environment;
Amendment 71 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to make present and future drivers more aware of the development of driver assistance applications through information campaigns and driver training, complementing standard driving lessons with specific instruction in the functionality and limitations of the new technologies, including informed consent rules regarding in-vehicle systems data sharing and eco-driving guidelines, encouraging the use of electric vehicles with renewable energy charging systems;
Amendment 73 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. stresses that, when planning roll- outs of 5G or Wi-Fi networks, local public authorities and local communities should always be consulted beforehand and allowed to exempt areas from these rollouts; calls on the Commission to include this guideline in any forthcoming legislative acts within the framework of the 5G Action Plan;
Amendment 76 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 b (new)
Paragraph 4 b (new)
4b. Calls on the Member States to set up national observatories to monitor automated mobility and related developments, encourage debate among stakeholders, help formulate national strategies that are in line with Union strategy, promote international debate and raise awareness of both the opportunities and the hazards of automated driving systems; calls also on Member States to collect and analyse data through appropriate platforms for the ongoing and effective monitoring of accidents involving automated or semi-automated vehicles.
