On the road to automated mobility: An EU strategy for mobility of the future (COM(2018) 283 final)

Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions

This Communication outlines the common EU approach and vision towards connected and automated mobility set out in a European agenda including supporting actions to:

• develop and deploy key technologies, services and infrastructure;
• position Europe as a global leader in CCAM across transport modes;
• ensure that EU legal and policy frameworks are ready to support deployment;
• address societal and environmental concerns towards public acceptance

The main recommendation of the Communication revolves around the need to coordinate EU instruments at research and regulatory level, alongside private sector engagements and funding programmes within Member States, to accelerate the transformation towards a safer, more resilient, and efficient transport sector capable of meeting diverse population needs.
