29 European countries, Members of the European Union and of the European Economic Area, have signed a Letter of Intent to intensify cooperation on testing of automated road transport in cross border test sites. This initiative drives forward the plans of the Commission's strategy to build a European Data Economy announced in January 2017.
At the end of last year, the automotive and telecom industries have joined forces in the European Alliance of Telecoms and Automotive to develop intelligent cross-border testing of what connectivity and automation offer for road transport in real traffic conditions.
Member States and industry now need to collaborate to realise the EU's ambitious vision for cooperative, connected and automated mobility in a Digital Single Market. Member States, supported by the Commission, will identify actions to be undertaken in the next months on the testing and large scale demonstration of connected and automated mobility (CAM).
