83 percent of German motorists would like to be informed of their vehicle, how fast they must go so that they arrive at every traffic light on green. This has been found, the ADAC and its partner clubs in a European survey in eleven European countries with more than 6,000 participants. It was about the acceptance of so-called eco-driver-assistance systems that exist in individual cases already embedded in the majority but still in development.
