STOA workshop: Automated Vehicles in the EU: Deployment and Impacts

21 Apr 2026

European Parliament, Room SPAAK 5B1, Brussels, Belgium/Online

17:00 - 19:00 CET


The European Union is currently implementing and possibly reviewing some aspects of its regulation related to the type approval of automated vehicles (General Vehicle Safety Regulation and its delegated and implementing acts).

Hosted by MEP Pierfrancesco Maran, this event will examine the technological and regulatory drivers shaping the deployment of automated vehicles in Europe and explore possible policy options to support future EU decision-making in this area.

The workshop will also mark the publication of the STOA study “Expected Impact of the Deployment of Automated Vehicles in the EU” (draft available here – once officially released, the STOA study will be made available on the webpage of STOA and sent to registered workshop participants) and will provide an opportunity to exchange views with key stakeholders, experts and EU policymakers.

Registration is now closed, but if you possess an access badge to the European Parliament, you can attend without registration. The event will be web streamed (no registration necessary): the link will be posted on the event page.
