Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the overwhelminghuman behaviour contributed to a majority of road accidents are due to human errorinvolving non-automated vehicles and, as such, there is an imperative need to reduce the possibilities for such errorsbehaviour, while maintaining personal mobility;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Points out that while the deployment of connected and automated mobility canould contribute to road safety, help to reduce road fatalities to zero in Europe by 2050, and favour lower emissions, social inclusion and overall transport efficiency; stresses that, societal acceptance will be achieved only if autonomous vehicles can offer the highest safety and security standards, are guaranteed;s well as more and better travel options, which are affordable and environmentally-friendly.
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Recalls that technological innovations cannot solve, in isolation, environmental issues, and that studies have shown that autonomous driving could make congestion and pollution worse; calls on authorities to develop policies that will ensure that autonomous vehicles will increase and improve travel options for all citizens, without negatively affecting the demand for and investments in public transport.
Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas several countries around the world (e.g. the US, China and Japan) are moving rapidly towards making both connected and automated mobility available on the market; whereas Europe needs to respond much more proactively to the rapid developments in this sector and to encourage similar initiatives;, but recalls that automated vehicles should only be introduced to the market when they have been demonstrated to operate with a high level of safety for drivers, passengers and other vehicles on the road.
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Underlines that autonomous vehicles are technologically complex and differ substantially from current motor vehicles on the road; for legal certainty, better safeguards of consumer rights and to prevent that unknown risks are borne by injured parties, it is necessary to have a review of the current EU legislative framework for liability rules and insurance for autonomous vehicles, addressing the limitations of laws as regards the shift in responsibility to the introduction of new rules for covering new types of risks.
Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. acknowledges its potential for all autonomous private and public means of road, rail, waterborne and air transport.
Amendment 37 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Urges all stakeholders, including vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers and software and design services, as well as Members States and authorities involved to cooperate in fostering innovation, in ensuring investment in infrastructure fit for automated mobility, both on highways and on city roads, and in facilitating cross- border testing.
Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Warns that autonomous driving threatens to disrupt the job opportunities and lives of millions of workers in the transport sector, without also creating significant numbers of secure and quality jobs through innovation and new technology; recalls that the anticipated savings in labour costs should not be a pretext for a reduction in workers’ rights, pay, conditions and safety.
Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that in-vehicle and route data are fundamental building blocks for the achievement of autonomous driving; urges the Commission, therefore, to ensure that obstacles to the use of such dataand connected driving; and adjacent markets for competitive services and prices for endusers; urges the Commission, therefore, to ensure that obstacles to the direct real-time access to the vehicle and its data and resources for independent service providers are dismantled and a robust regulatory system in this respect is put in place in a timely manner;roposed by the end of 2018.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 a (new)
Paragraph 14 a (new)
14 a. Argues that both passive and active safety features have an important role in reducing the number as well as severity of collisions, and 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 protect vehicle occupants as well as other road users, especially those from more vulnerable groups.
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Highlights the expected congesRecalls that technological innovations challenges to urban mobility resulting from the widespread uptake of autonomous vehicles and underlines the need for new solutions incorporating car sharing, ride hailing and other models;annot solve, in isolation, environmental issues, and that studies indicate that the widespread uptake of autonomous vehicles could make congestion and pollution worse; calls on authorities to develop policies that will ensure that autonomous vehicles will increase and improve travel options for all citizens, without negatively affecting the demand for and investments in public transport.
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16 a. Underlines that while the deployment of connected and automated mobility could bring substantial benefits, the technologies currently available on the market present vulnerabilities that could become serious threats for users, other vehicles or pedestrians; argues therefore that societal acceptance will only be achieved if autonomous vehicles can offer the highest safety and security standards, as well as more and better travel options, which are affordable and environmentally-friendly.
Amendment 151 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25
Paragraph 25
25. CUnderlines that autonomous vehicles are technologically complex and differ substantially from current motor vehicles on the road and calls on the Commission to create comprehensive rules for driver or operator responsibilities at every level of automation across all modes of transport; underlines that those responsibilities need to be clearly communicated through commercial labelling or other forms of communication;for legal certainty, better safeguards of consumer rights and to prevent unknown risks being borne by injured parties, it is necessary to have a review of the current EU legislative framework for liability rules and insurance for autonomous vehicles, addressing the limitations of laws as regards the shift in responsibility to the introduction of new rules for covering new types of risks.

Paragraph 30
30. Stresses the need for real-life testing sites across the EU in order to thoroughly test and develop new technologies, but recalls that such public road tests should be strictly regulated, in order to ensure the safety of both the occupants of the test vehicle as well of the other road users; 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, while safeguarding road safety in those areas;
