Last month, the European Commission announced a series of road safety measures that could save 10,500 lives and avoid close to 60,000 serious injuries over 2020-2030, thereby contributing to the EU’s long-term goal of moving close to zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050 (“Vision Zero”). These reductions could be achieved through proposals that new models of vehicles should be equipped with advanced safety features, such as advanced emergency braking, lane-keeping assist systems, and cyclists’ detection systems for trucks, and assisting Member States to systematically identify dangerous road sections and target investment more effectively.
