Amendment 88 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Urges the Commission and the Member States to reach a common position allowing the rapid introduction of safety- proven technical innovations as soon as they are market ready, and to cooperate in order for the EU to take a leading role in the international technical harmonisation of automated vehicles within the framework of the UNECE and the Vienna Convention, in particular in all discussions by the UNECE World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (Working Party 29) and the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA);

Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Underlines the emerging concerns over user complacency when using vehicles that require a degree of driver intervention; calls for a better clarification of the definition and differentiation of requirements of “vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems” (SAE level 1 to 3) compared to “automated vehicles” (SAE level 4 to 5) in road safety related legislation and for further studies to be conducted on the feasibility and safety of level 3 automated vehicles, especially regarding the issue of signalling the need for intervention to the driver and dangers that can arise from any delays in intervening;
Amendment 123 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Urges the Commission also to present without delay detailed rules for automated aircraft, which require specific and tailor-made specifications, given that a single UAV and operational approach is not appropriate to ensure the safe integration of automated aircraft into airspace shared with manned aircraft; recalls that UAVs will need safe, and where appropriate, certified intelligence systems, as well as a specific air space and management environment;
