Today's major developments in the mobility sector contribute to one common vision: Seamless transportation in autonomous vehicles on interconnected road networks. One of the core technologies in this visionary mobility concept is – obviously – the autonomous vehicle, which is capable of sensing its environment and moving safely with little or no human input. Therefore, it is necessary to train the car with real environment data, which needs to be collected, transferred, pre-processed and stored beforehand. This process requires a complex chain of technologies from different providers. The NTT Technology Experience Lab has brought together several highly experienced technology partners to build up a holistic solution, the “Data Garage”.

eco and the Alliance for the Strengthening of Digital Infrastructures regard the German Federal Environment Ministry’s initiative as a successful start to driving forward sustainable digitalisation.

The reform of Europol’s mandate offers the opportunity to make cross-border law enforcement within Europe more effective. From a provider’s perspective, a European central authority for cross-border data transfers is conceivable and, if appropriately implemented, even desirable.

To mark the start of the German EU Council Presidency, the Association of the Internet Industry has compiled a 6-point catalogue of requirements for Europe’s digitalisation. eco also calls for a pan-European Digitalisation Roundtable comprised of national representatives of the Internet industry.
