Von der Leyen Demands AI-Driven Car Revolution

European Commission president Ursula von der Lynne has threw the glove and urged European Union countries to adopt the “Amnesty International” strategy in the auto sector, with self -driving cars in the foreground.

Speaking at the Italian Technology Week in Turin, she announced that if the United States and China are already wandering with independent vehicles, Europe should not be left in the slow corridor, as stated in its latest call to work.

The cry of her entourage comes at a time when the continent’s makers – others such as Volkswagen, Renault, are struggling to celebrate the technological charge of Tesla in the United States and a wave of innovative startups in China.

It is not only about prestige; Functions, safety and industrial spine in Europe at stake.

What is noticeable is how the European Union’s ambitions are in line with wider global transformations. Just a few days ago, the United Nations has inflated its warnings about the urgent need for international handrails on artificial intelligence, confirming the dangers of independent weapons to biased algorithms.

Cars may seem less threats than drones, but anyone who was in Miss close on the highway knows how high risk.

The Von Der Leyen plan includes a network of ready -made European cities to host experimental projects – 60 Italian municipal mayors have already registered.

Imagine Rome, Milan and Torino as live laboratories, as the buses driven by AI, taxis and private cars in daily life.

It is ambitious, yes, but also reminds us when Europe dared to drive in space and space.

Meanwhile, the size of development in Asia is amazing, as China is now home to more than 5300 Amnesty International, as many of them have experienced transportation systems that could redefine global standards.

In Europe, in comparison, talent and heritage enjoy, but the risks that lose the race if bold moves are not identical to coherent financing and organization.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, American companies pay the borders in other ways.

Openai, for example, searches beyond the program in devices, and plans for a new family of devices that can re -define the interaction of human and computer completely.

The lesson here is clear: innovation is not expected to pursue the organizers.

The biggest question, though, is cultural. Do Europeans trust Amnesty International behind the wheel? You may resist a romantic area with Ferraris and Porsches. Control delivery to an algorithm.

But von der Lin insists that “artificial intelligence first means safety first.” The vision is a fewer number of accidents, cleaner cities and functions that develop instead of disappearance.

Personally, I think this is the moment of the moon in Europe. It is messy, it is risky, but it is also necessary.

Because if the future of mobility is written elsewhere, Europe will not lose an industry – it may lose its identity.
