The European Union will not force automobile owners and manufacturers to use connected car systems, as the U.S. has recently said it will do, according to the office of digital agenda chief Neelie Kroes. But those that do use them will need to stick to agreed specifications. On Wednesday Kroes and the European standards organizations CEN and ETSI announced that they had agreed on basic standards for what they call Cooperative Intelligence Transport Systems.
