Summary: Longevity (Durability) is the most important aspect for lowering the environmental impacts in a circular economy. At the same time 60 million new automotive vehicles - electric and others - are sold annually and 1.2 billion are out on the streets. All automotive vehicles contain a significant value - and amount - of ICT. The trend is that several (most) automotive vehicles (cars) will be equipped with ICT solutions which make them autonomous, i.e. they can "drive by themselves". There is a clear risk that the average lifetime of autonomous cars will be much shorter than for ordinary cars. This could lead to more waste creation than before. The Recommendation aims to analyse the waste risk of autonomous vehicles and propose how this potential risk can be mitigated. This Recommendation utilises information compiled from stakeholders which can provide good insights into the specified potential challenge.
