Concluding remarks• Automated vehicles type approval possible inEU (highway chauffeur, shuttles, robotaxis, hubto-hub, AVP)
• Guidance for harmonized implementation
 Ensure the highest common level of safety Single regulatory and certification process Facilitate the EU single market & level playing field Improve accessibility and use of safety information• NEXT: unlimited series approvalThank you!
