What are intelligent cars and the i2010 flagship initiatives?
Promoting the development of cars that are smarter, safer and cleaner is part of the European Union’s European Information Society 2010 (i2010) strategy to boost growth and jobs in the digital economy (see IP/05/643). The intelligent car is one of three i2010 “flagship initiatives” that aim to show how information and communication technology (ICT) can improve public services and quality of life (the other two are technologies for an ageing society and digital libraries).
