Daimler-Boss Dieter Zetsche has praised the CDU, CSU and SPD for the Europa Passages in the exploratory paper and called for deeper cooperation in the EU. “Now is the time to expand the EU instead of going back. The united Europe is our future, “said Zetsche on Thursday in Berlin. Big questions like fiscal policy, energy transition to migration could only be solved in Europe. “We know there are forces in Europe that want exactly the opposite. But I am sure: With small-scale thinking you will not create anything great. “Small state and protectionism are not a recipe for success for a modern Europe.

Zetsche therefore described it as a “good sign” that the Groko sounders had spoken of a “departure for Europe”. He called for an EU regulation for autonomous driving. Although there is now a legal framework for it in Germany. But if this is not resolved at EU level, autonomous vehicles could not be used across borders.
