2.

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion

Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)

Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 c (new)
2c. Stresses that ethical aspects of pre- programmed actions of self-driving cars in the case of accident need to be addressed in public discussion and resolved by the legislator before their full acceptance in traffic1a; _________________ 1a Example: In a case when a car is about to hit a child who accidentally enter the road, should the automated car try to avoid the collision at all costs, which would include deliberate crash of the car causing harm or fatalities to its driver?

Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 d (new)
2d. Stresses the Commission’s statement that the vast majority of investment concerning automated mobility will come from the private sector, therefore highlights the risk of “dead- weight effect” as public funding could replace private investments that would otherwise occur and that public subsidies could also lead to “crowding out effect”, where potentially more valuable projects financed by the private sector would be replaced by less valuable projects financed from public budget.;

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Suggests that any European budgetary program for support of automated mobility should be accompanied by cost-benefit, value for money analysis which would also calculate dead-weight costs and opportunity costs created by the program;

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. Suggests to simplify the Union regulatory policy for automated vehicles, as less burdensome regulation can determine the degree of co-financing of the whole project by the private sector;
