  • Dec.13.2018: Car lobby opposes EU safety bid that 'would save 1,300 lives a year'. Firms against plans to benchmark new technology that adjusts speed to local limit. Car industry lobbyists are pushing the EU to weaken safety technology proposals, even though their own research predicts the move would cause more than 1,000 extra road deaths each year. Acea is fiercely opposing an EU attempt to benchmark a technology that automatically reduces car speeds to local limits. The group favours one that just sends speeding drivers a dashboard warning. The ETSC said “These new vehicle safety standards will have a hugely important impact on reducing deaths on European roads. So it’s critical that the political discussion is not frustrated by misleading information. That a handful of MEPs are trying to copy-paste this into the legislation itself is very worrying. The price would be paid in lives lost that otherwise would not have been.” Intelligent Speed Assistance is one of 16 safety measures – including automated emergency braking and motorway lane assistance – in the EU general safety regulation aimed at cutting road deaths by 25,000 – one year’s death toll at present – over a 15-year period. Arthur Neslen, The Guardian.
