Luxembourg (Europe)

La voiture autonome existe déjà. Des laboratoires, elle est passée sur les routes de France, d'Allemagne et du Luxembourg. Pour la rendre commercialisable d'ici 2030, les ministres des trois pays ont lancé mercredi à Schengen le premier «site expérimental transfrontalier» européen.
La voiture 100% autonome sur route ouverte dans laquelle vous pouvez vous laisser conduire les yeux fermés, «ce n'est pas encore pour demain parce qu'il y a encore des tests à effectuer», pose Anthony Auert, cluster manager automobility chez Luxinnovation. L'agence nationale de l'innovation luxembourgeoise a pour mission de mettre en relation les différents partenaires pour y arriver.

Un an et demi après l'accord signé entre l'Allemagne, la France et le Luxembourg au Salon de l'automobile de Francfort, le premier «site expérimental transfrontalier» européen a été officialisé mercredi à Schengen en présence de cinq ministres des trois pays. L'objectif étant de montrer des projets concrets qui sont déjà lancés mais aussi ceux qui vont se réaliser sous peu comme le projet européen 5G-CroCo qui devra permettre aux futurs véhicules autonomes de recevoir et d'émettre toutes les données en temps réel, y compris au moment de franchir une frontière.

Schengen added to the European Heritage Label list

The Schengen Area currently includes 26 Member States and has become synonymous with the free circulation of people and goods.

The European Commission has just added nine European sites celebrating and symbolising European ideals, values, history and integration to the European Heritage Label list. The label is intended to strengthen the sense of belonging of European citizens – particularly young people – to the European Union, and to stimulate intercultural dialogue.

Among these nine sites is the village of Schengen, the first site in Luxembourg to be added to the European Heritage Label list. Schengen symbolises one of the major results of European integration.

The little village located on the border between three countries has always been associated with European integration since the signing of the Schengen Agreement on 14th June 1985, on board the ship 'Princesse Marie-Astrid', when France, Germany and the Benelux countries committed to give up in internal border controls within the countries concerned.

Blink, and you could pass through Europe’s smaller nations without realising. Take Luxembourg, which can be crossed by car in just over an hour at its widest point. Before you know it, you’ve popped out into the surrounding countries of France, Germany or Belgium, with only the eagle-eyed spying the border sign and the striped flags of the Grand Duchy far behind.

The ability to do this is partly down to its petite size, but also thanks to a Luxembourgian legacy: a treaty signed more than 30 years ago in the tiny village of Schengen in the country’s far south-east. The now-renowned Schengen Agreement dramatically changed the way we travel within Europe, and continues to evolve today.
