Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The definitions, technical specifications and procedural requirements for the new safety features based on advanced technologies should be laid down by this Regulation and other relevant legislative acts with full respect to the principle of technological neutrality. They should also respect and comply with the complexity of systems already required and introduced in vehicles so that the most efficient and effective results are achieved with regards safety and overall performance of the vehicle.

Recital 6
(6) Intelligent speed assistance, lane- keeping systems, driver drowsiness and, attention monitoring and distraction detectionmonitoring and reversing detection systems have a high potential to reduce casualty numbers considerably. In addition, those systems are based on technologies which will be used for the deployment of connected and automated vehicles too. Therefore, harmonised rules and test procedures for the type-approval of vehicles as regards those systems and for the type-approval of those systems as separate technical units should be established at Union level.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) The introduction of event (accident) data recorders storing a range of crucial vehicle data over a very short timeframe before, during and after a triggering eventaction (for example, the deployment of an airbag) is a valuable step in obtaining more accurate, in-depth accident data. Motor-vehicles should therefore be required to be equipped with such recorders. It should also be a requirement that such recorders are capable for recording and storing data in such a way that the data can be used by Member States to conduct road safety analysis and assess the effectiveness of specific measures taken.

Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Any processing of personal data, such as information about the driver processed in event (accident) data recorders or information about the driver on drowsiness and, attention monitoring or advanceand distraction recognitionmonitoring, should be carried out strictly in accordance with EU legislation on data protection, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation28. In addition, the processing of personal data collected through the 112-based eCall in- vehicle system is subject to specific safeguards29. __________________ 28 Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1). 29 Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system based on the 112 service and amending Directive 2007/46/EC, (OJ L 123, 19.5.2015, p. 77).
Amendment 99 #

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Historically, Union rules have limited the overall length of truck combinations which resulted in the typical cab-over-engine designs as they maximise the cargo space. However, the high position of the driver led to an increased blind spot area and poorer direct visibility around the truck cab. This is a major factor for truck accidents involving vulnerable road users. The number of casualties could be reduced significantly by improving direct vision. Requirements should therefore be introduced to improve the direct vision of the driver.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Given the emphasis of EU vehicle safety regulations to protect vulnerable road users, inter alia, by ensuring adequate visibility for drivers, public and private entities should refrain from requiringconsider viable alternatives to the affixing of any kind of label, vignette or sticker meant for whichever purpose to any part of the transparent surface of the vehicles’ glazing. Furthermore, national authorities should enforce that windscreens and side windows are indeed kept clear of non-compulsory labels, vignettes, stickers and any other vision impairing items as to not negate the effectiveness of the Union law on visibility for drivers.

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Vehicle platooning has the potential to bring about safer, cleaner and more efficient transport in the future. In anticipation of the introduction of platooning technology and the relevant standards, a regulatory framework with harmonised rules and procedures will be needed. In this regard, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts to establish a harmonised format for the exchange of data for the purposes of multi-brand vehicle platooning, in compliance with EU legislation on data protection.
