One of the ETSC's main work areas is vehicle safety standards in Europe. The organisation was one of the expert organisations that advocated for updates to the European Union's General Safety Regulation,[3] which requires, among other technologies, Automated Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Assistance and Lane Departure Warning systems to be fitted on all new vehicles sold in Europe from July 2022.[4]
