- [Detection of motorcycles by advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)](https://www.acem.eu/publications/position-papers/position-paper-detection-of-motorcycles-by-advanced-driver-assistance-systems-adas/) - Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are systems developed to automate, adapt or enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. However, despite their many benefits, ADAS are not without risks. A possible consequence of broad ADAS implementation may be an increase in car-motorcycle accidents, even as car accidents decrease. This may occur, for example, if

In the context of the current evaluation of the Directive by the European Commission, ACEM is actively promoting the inclusion of L-category vehicles in the scope of a future version of the Directive,
- [Micromobility: The case of the Personal Light Electric Vehicle](https://www.acem.eu/publications/position-papers/acem-position-paper-micromobility-the-case-of-the-personal-light-electric-vehicle/) - Micromobility is rapidly growing as a personal mobility option for European citizens. ACEM believes that micromobility vehicles, as well as all other vehicles, need to operate in a regulatory framework that defines where they can be used, at what speed, after which training, as of what age and in compliance with which design safety rules.
- [Evaluation of Directive 2006/126/EC on driving licences](https://www.acem.eu/publications/position-papers/acem-position-paper-evaluation-of-directive-2006-126-ec-on-driving-licences/) - Motorcycling provides added value for individuals and society at large as a mobility and leisure tool. To ensure that society fully benefits from all the advantages offered by motorcycles, the industry works on improving the safety record of riders across Europe. Proper licensing and post-licensing systems are instrumental in achieving better safety performance for all
