> now are a part of European Transport Safety Council requirements
Actually, no, no official EU organization nor any council mandates that. It's Euro NCAP, an independent organization, who decided they'll include tactile control in their car safety evaluation. It is literally explained in that article.
It will still make a difference, but this is not something EU did.
- elzbardico 10mo agoThe NCAP and the ETSC usually work very close together. A lot of times safety innovations are first introduced on NCAP ratings, then the ETSC carefully evaluates adoption and will then advocate for those requirements to become legally binding regulations. A technical standard will then typically be designed at the UNECE, Then the European Commission will propose it to be discussed and voted both by the EU Parliament and the European Council. It is not like the NCAP is just the EU version of the US "Consumer Reports". While not a part of the EU, it is a non-profit thoroughly embedded into the development of automotive safety standards in the EU.
- cromka 10mo agoSure, not saying otherwise, but even the very article linked actually somewhat complain the EU as a body doesn’t enforce things like that enough.
- epolanski 10mo agoThe previous user literally linked the ETSC website.
- cromka 10mo agoAnd did you literally click that link? Seriously, WTF. It’s in the first paragraph there.
