The platform started in November 2015 with a 30 months duration. The Phase I Report was released in January 2016 as a first milestone towards connected and automated vehicles int eh EU. The Commission now prepares the Master Plan for the Deployment of C-ITS, to be ready by mid-2016, based on the recommendations of the platform. The C-ITS Platform activities will continue with Phase II with a special focus on the links between connectivity and automation, in particular in relation to infrastructure and road safety issues.
