Digital Economy Blog – Advanced driver assistance systems now mandatory for public transport

2023-09-19 14:17:26

Faced with the increase in public transport accidents, advanced driver assistance systems are now made compulsory for public transport, marking a major step forward in road safety. This obligation arises from Regulation 2019/2144 to callGeneral Safety Regulation 2 (GSR2).

The innovative role of ADAS

ADAS, or Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems, help create a virtuous circle by improving road safety. They help avoid accidents and promote safer and more peaceful driving for drivers. This reduction in stress while driving improves driver alertness, thereby reducing the number of accidents. This positive phenomenon continues, creating a safer road environment for everyone.

The GSR2 regulation spreads the implementation of ADAS into four phases, each with its own implementation schedule. This approach reflects the growing recognition of the importance of these technologies in preventing accidents and improving road safety.

Common ADAS used in public transportation include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more. These devices reduce the risk of collision, minimize human error and ensure the safety of passengers and other road users.

ADAS, a worrying development

Despite the life-saving mission of ADAS, it is nevertheless essential to note that these systems also give rise to major concerns.

The question of liability in the event of ADAS failure is complex. In the event of a malfunction, it can be difficult to determine who is responsible in the event of an accident, involving drivers, vehicle manufacturers and software developers. Laws and regulations must be adopted to clarify these issues and protect the rights of all parties involved.

Additionally, the collection of personal data by ADAS raises privacy concerns. Some ADAS systems collect sensitive personal data, such as biometric data. RGDP compliance is an essential prerequisite for the implementation of these devices which prove to be intrusive for the driver.

In summary, ADAS are now mandatory for public transport, marking a significant step forward in road safety. However, it is essential to consider liability issues in the event of failure of these systems and to ensure compliance with personal data protection regulations.
