Brussels –\u00a0 Forge ahead with\u00a0driverless cars. <\/strong>The European Commission continues to work for what is increasingly a challenge, and on which the EU executive is not determined to have second thoughts. On the contrary, the Commissioner for Industrial Strategy, Stephane S\u00e9journ\u00e9, <\/strong>assures that the goal is to forge ahead. The Commission, he said, responding to a parliamentary question<\/a>, wants a large-scale industrial capacity.<\/p>\n

To that end, there is the EU will “continue to support funding for research and development, update the EU regulatory <\/strong>framework for autonomous vehicles <\/strong>and support Member States towards the update of their national road transport frameworks,” S\u00e9journ\u00e9 assured. The goal is\u00a0“to ensure the legality of automated driving and the possibility to deploy them at scale.”<\/p>\n

For driverless cars — or\u00a0autonomous vehicles —\u00a0the keyword\u00a0will also be ‘simplification,’ in line with the competitiveness agenda<\/a>\u00a0that Commission president Ursula von der Leyen grandly presented. Moreover, the strategy for these types of cars is part of the\u00a0broader all-European commitment to the automotive sector<\/a>. “The Commission wants to ensure that the EU remains a global leader in the automotive industry, preserving jobs and manufacturing capacity in Europe,” reiterated S\u00e9journ\u00e9,\u00a0responsible for one of the four strands of the\u00a0automotive Action Plan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is good news. Regarding autonomous vehicles, “the EU industry is at a good stage of technology development,\u00a0<\/strong>and the EU established a regulatory framework for the sale of autonomous
\n<\/strong>vehicles,” the French commissioner of the von der Leyen team continued. The problem, S\u00e9journ\u00e9 admits, is that “such vehicles cannot easily access roads throughout Europe.” The EU executive intends to remedy this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
