Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 d (new)
(11d) Technology is progressing rapidly with increasing levels of sophistication of autonomous driving systems and consequently new operational opportunities such as truck platooning and the legislation should promote these developments.

In the meantime the legislative framework should not act as a barrier to the EU pioneering new innovative technologies and practices, whereas the intention of this legislation to guarantee road safety, a level-playing field and proper working conditions must be upheld.
