A group set up to look into the coordination of self-driving car technology across Europe has backed plans for a legislative framework.
The call was made by the Platform for the Deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems in the European Union (C-ITS Platform), in a report on 21 January. The group was established in 2014 to help the Commission, national authorities and industry agree on how to deploy Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), which would allow cars to communicate with each other and external infrastructure.
