New technologies and innovation: digitalisation of road transport - works
Pays for control centres and digital infrastructure that let autonomous vehicles operate commercially on the TEN-T road network, from a EUR 20 million pot.
New Technologies and Innovation: Digitalisation of Road Transport is a CEF call from the European Commission that pays for control centres and digital infrastructure letting autonomous vehicles operate commercially on the TEN-T road network, from a EUR 20 million pot.
