Structure and Working Fields
The Intelligent Car Initiative rests on three pillars:
- The eSafety Forum. The Commission builds on the eSafety Forum (eSafety's 'Parliament') to coordinate all stakeholders having an interest in road traffic safety or a speedier deployment of advanced, ICT-based safety systems. In this respect, the eSafety Initiative, which was already founded in 2002, was a kind of precursor of the Intelligent Car Initiative,
- Research projects in information and communication technologies, as far as they explore road safety, traffic and 'clean mobility' management projects. This holds for the 6th and 7th European Framework Programmes for Research,
- Awareness-raising activities, designed to increase the knowledge of drivers, consumers and decision makers of these 'intelligent' car safety systems. The Commission's own 'Intelligent Car web site', which hosts among other things an interactive quiz, is part of these awareness-raising actions.

Famous quotes containing the words structure and, structure, working and/or fields:
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“Good marriages are built on respectful disagreement and back-and-forth cooperation. We learn to cue each other, fill in for each other, forgive each other’s fumbles, celebrate small victories. We revel in the realization that we’re working on something bigger than both of us, and that parenthood is not only incredibly challenging but also incredibly enriching.”
—Susan Lapinski (20th century)
“What doubts, what hypotheses, what labyrinths of amusement, what fields of disputation, what an ocean of false learning, may be avoided by that single notion of immaterialism!”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
