Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. tTakes the view that the impact of automated vehicles on enhancing transport safety might potentially be a major one, since human errors are currently responsible for about 90 % of road accidents; notes however that it will be impossible for automated vehicles to eliminate all accidents, which raisesand that answers must therefore be found as soon as possible to questions of responsibility for car accidents;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion

Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. an answer must be found toIs of the opinion that robotics has great potential for the support and relief, in particular, of people with disabilities and elderly people in their everyday lives and will make a major contribution to their leading self-determined lives and their integration in the labour market; finds that there is a need to tackle the question of what provisions might be necessary in terms of the competitiveness of, for instance, the labour force if the artificial or genetic development or supplementing of existing human capabilities results in people with extraordinary abilities, thereby fundamentally altering the meaning of the term '‘disability' and conferring an unassailable advantage on people with access to such tools and interventions’;
Amendment 53 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. points out that, whilst robotics and artificial intelligence promise real advantages in the short and medium term in terms of effectiveness and economy the use of robotics offers huge potential for creating new, high-quality jobs and optimising work processes, in particular the abolition of activities which are monot only for production and trade but also in areas where human intelligence hitherto meant there were only humans (whose work will be increasingly unnecessary), there is a danger of the number of jobs in the field of robotics not increasing to match the number of jobs which are expected to be lostous, physically demanding and pose a danger to people’s health, and that robotics and artificial intelligence offer real advantages in terms of health and safety in the workplace, increasing the efficiency of activities and saving energy and materials;
Amendment 53 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. uUnderlines that automated cars will require a high level of safe and reliable interaction with the transport infrastructure and that the high volume of data will need to be securely and reliably transferred in real time between automated vehicles and such infrastructure;
Amendment 59 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)

Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Considers that the automotive sector is in most urgent need of European and global rules to ensure the cross-border development of automated and autonomous vehicles so as to fully exploit their economic potential and benefit from the positive effects of technological trends; emphasises that fragmented regulatory approaches would hinder implementation and jeopardise European competitiveness and calls therefore on the Commission to ensure that the Member States seamlessly standardise existing legislation, such as the Vienna Convention; notes that although current private international law rules on traffic accidents applicable within the EU do not need urgent modification to accommodate the development of autonomous vehicles, simplifying the current dual system for defining applicable law (based on Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council4 and the 1971 Hague Convention on the law applicable to traffic accidents) would improve legal certainty and limit possibilities for forum shopping; __________________ 4 Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non- contractual obligations (Rome II) (OJ L 199 of 31/07/2007, p. 40).
