Europe is suddenly scrambling to try and catch up with the progress in the US in relation to Autonomous Vehicles! After the election of Donald Trump for president of the USA, Elon Musk has advised the team to prepare the road for the nationwide introduction of self-driving cars and Robotaxis. Instead of trying to get a state-by-state agreement, it is now a priority for the Department Of Transportation (DoT) to simplify the rules and introduce a FEDERAL AV regulation. Schaun Duffy was appointed as the new Secretary for this department. I show who he is and why he's the right man. I follow the UNECE proceedings and am aware of the current discussion about "System Initiated Manoeuvres". But that organisation is not the only force in action today: The people represented in that are legal and technical specialists employed by the authorities of their member states or by the OEM companies. There are other forums led under auspices of the EU for example, where legislators and politicians have their say. Watch my earlier videos about for example the EU meeting in Gent, in which I was present. Meanwhile, in Europe, the CCAM organisation, composed of the member countries and the "stakeholders" (EU car OEMs and equipment manufacturers) has noticed what is happening in the US and they are suddenly waking up: What will happen if Tesla is suddenly deploying thousands and even millions of AVs in the US and then in China? Urgent action is needed!!! Important: Yesterday (Nov 21st, 2024) CCAM has decided to focus strongly on advancing the a unified regulation in the EU, to pave the road for AVs... As soon as the RoboTaxis (both CyberCab and S3XY vehicles) will be allowed nationwide, first in the US, then China, the EU political pressure will be so high that an acceleration will suddenly be seen. It is true that this is wishful thinking from my side, but I also have insiders information in several of the organisations mentioned that this is indeed happening now. We'll see! It remains to be seen how the European OEMs will react to Tesla's sudden moves in the US and China: Will they slow down Tesla or will they seek partnerships with Tesla?
