60 Italian mayor wants to be unlikely to be a unlikely solution to cars in Europe
The future Cars in Italy seem to need not only technology but also (probably above all) from political backing. Therefore, the good news is that more than 60 mayors in Italy have decided to take the ground for future cars.
On July 14, at the Digital Meeting Center in Milan, Pyrepransco Maran, a member of the European Parliament for the Italian Democratic Party, began driving autonomous: Italy supports Row’s initiative, which supports managers from across the country.
The signatories of the project include the Mayor of Milan BEPPE Sala and the mayor of Turin Stefano Lu Rousseau, as well as dozens of other mayors in medium and small cities. Apparently, the goal is to make Italy as a European leader in autonomous vehicles and convert municipal territories to test automotive technologies in the near future to open air laboratories.
Attracting the attention of the United States and China
This initiative is due to the fact that Europe is remarkably lagging behind the United States and China. While Waymo performs more than 250,000 paid riders per week in the four US cities where China has established 20 experimental cities with more than 74 million miles of accumulated testing, Europe is limited to 400 very fragmented micro -schemes that are less than half throughout the country.
This gap is not only geographical. In the United States and China, private companies and companies invest billions of dollars, while in Europe, public funds are scattered over very small initiatives. Europe’s oversight fragmentation, with 27 different national frameworks (including different traffic laws), also makes it impossible to exploit any advantage of the region, which is a single continental market.
Italian executives view autonomous driving as a practical solution to everyday urban problems, such as urban supplies, the last mile and reduce traffic and pollution in urban centers. Expanding the right to mobility for the elderly, disabled and children has also been a priority for many of the country’s managers, as the use of autonomous vehicles to better connect the weak suburbs provided by public transport.
