Despite all the noise regarding autonomous cars in the press recently, it seems EU legislators are remaining cautious on the subject. European Parliament Vice President, Adina Valean, said on Thursday at a panel discussion in Brussels, "I think it's still very early to be talking about autonomous cars. Not necessarily because the technological developments won't be there. But the complexity of the whole thing is huge. Think of allocation of spectrum or security of networks. The European Commission has announced that it will propose legislation in 2016 that will impact connected cars. " The issue has been discussed for years and there have even been proposals that would require car manufacturers to provide their own self-driving technology as part of an overall safety package.
