Public Consultation on Bus and Truck Drivers
The EU rules on driving time, breaks and rest periods apply equally to lorry drivers and bus and coach drivers. However, these rules are not always suitable for passenger transport. This initiative aims to address the specific needs of bus and coach drivers in organising their working time. The Commission will evaluate the current rules and may propose measures to meet these needs.
Artificial Intelligence
Transport is one of the economic sectors where artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are seeing rapid uptake. The growth trends are clear: ‘In the future, the transport system will accommodate vehicles with ever growing computing power, high speed connectivity, deep learning algorithms for artificial intelligence, fast processing and decentralised data handling’.
