Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Stresses that the digital single market should not serve as a cover for pressing ahead with large-scale vehicle automation; takes the view that the watchword for vehicle regulation must be 'free citizens who are free to drive', eschewing any drift towards a socialistic transport regime under which independent driving is only possible with a special permit; points out that drivers taking sole responsibility for their actions have set an example by making Europe’s roads the safest in the world; warns against replacing this example with the spectre of robotic vehicles; stresses that private ownership is the overriding principle with regard to vehicles also and that environmental factors must not serve as a pretext for motorists being drawn into a collaborative economy;
Amendment 17 #

Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Recognises that the share of deaths of unprotected road users is increasing as car occupants have benefited from improved vehicle safety and, consequently, a renewed focus on vulnerable road users (pedestrians and cyclists) is needed;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Believes that full cost-benefit analysis in the form of adequate ex ante impact assessments by the Commission is essential for any new Union safety requirements, and that particular consideration should be given to
Amendment 2 #

Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Believes that full cost-benefit analysis in the form of adequate ex ante impact assessments by the Commission is essential for any new Union safety requirements, and that particular consideration should be given to their potential impact on the price of new cars for European consumers, as well their effect on vehicle emissions; recommends, furthermore, that the implementation of new Union road safety requirements be synchronised with the activities of the UN
Amendment 21 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Believes that full cost-benefit analysis in the form of adequate ex ante impact assessments by the Commission is essential for any new Union safety requirements, and that particular consideration should be given to their potential impact on the price of new cars for European consumers

Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Recognises that while almost all cars tested by Euro NCAP consumer testing programme are awarded 5 stars, cars that only meet the minimum EU legal requirements today would receive zero stars; recognises also that the majority of car manufacturers successfully responded to the challenge of meeting new Euro NCAP requirements; believes that type approval requirements need to be updated; believes that regulation is needed to ensure that safety benefits are spread equally to all EU citizens, since indeed not all car models sold in Europe are tested by Euro NCAP, and not all of the same type are sold with the same standards of safety equipment;
Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Takes the view that any new vehicle safety requirements should encourage innovation and investment within the EU, stimulate the competitiveness of our industries and help generate employment;

Welcomes the improvements that market-led technological developments have already brought to Union road safety, and encourages the continued exploration of the opportunities the digital revolution offers in that regard; reminds regarding the digital revolution and the rising importance of automated and connected driving, the protection of the consumer´s data in the vehicle should have the highest possible standards and where the data processing and forwarding is not mandatory for the safe functioning of the vehicle, consumers must be able to stop the data transfer to the vehicle manufacturer easily; calls for continuing research and the development of new standards in autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assistance and reverse detection technologies for motor vehicles, high vision cabins and front-end blind spot cameras and detection for HGVs

Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Welcomes the improvements that market-led technological developments have already brought to Union road safety, and encourages the continued exploration of the opportunities the digital revolution offers in that regard; emphasises that the protection of personal data is fundamental, and underlines that public administrations should handle personal data securely in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Rules on Privacy; considers it important to further explore the principle of data ownership; calls for continuing research and the development of new standards in autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assistance and reverse detection technologies for motor vehicles, and front-end blind spot cameras and detection for HGVs; calls for phasing in specific measures which significantly increase vehicle safety.
