There are an estimated 300 million car drivers in
the EU Member States. Most would welcome
any means to ease driving, with fewer delays
and less chance of getting injured. Most are
aware, even if they don’t often think about it,
that a road accident could ruin their lives in an
instant. The Commission’s “intelligent car”
initiative aims to prevent car crashes and cut
traffic congestion.
Pollution, traffic safety and congestion are truly
European problems affecting all 25 EU Member
States. We need to find common European
solutions. This is what the European
Commission Communication on Intelligent Cars
sets out to do.
