The USA goes cooperative Looking at the current development of cooperative systems in the USA by Carla Coppola
With a population of 309 million, 841 vehicles for every 1000 inhabitants and 18,690,000 barrels of oil per day, the USA confirms its status as second most polluting country in the world, after having been the leader until China overtook it in 2007.

The EU-USA cooperation is embodied in a joint EU-US Task Force. One of its working groups, on safety applications, is working intensively to harmonise the over-the-air data and communication interfaces; the result should “reduce costs for development of cooperative safety systems and accelerate deployment by enabling the use of common vehicle hardware and firmware in both regions”. To support the European input to the joint work, the EU co-funded project COMeSafety2 assists with standards harmonisation, with the definition of cooperative ITS architecture, and with cooperative ITS deployment enablers. COMeSafety2 also assists with a joint forum to exchange tools and methodologies, and with creating common specifications for a set of compatible applications. If the USA puts much emphasis on safety, the EU invests strongly in sustainability.

The FIA Region I office, based in Brussels, is a consumer body representing 106 Motoring and Touring Clubs and their 36 million members from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office aims to provide strong representation of European Member Club interests towards the European Union institutions; to build up links and support the exchange of best practices across the region; and to engage in new campaign activities such as the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign. Key priorities for FIA Region I: • Mobility: Supporting efficient and affordable mobility for all. • Safety: Promoting 5-star drivers, in 5-star cars on 5-star roads. • Environment: Offering intelligent mobility solutions for sustainable transport. • Consumer Protection: Defending consumers’ interests. • Tourism: Ensuring sustainable tourism and protecting passengers’ rights.
