Use of assistants for partially automated driving on our roads?

In Germany, a car manufacturer was recently given permission to use its system of automated driving in road traffic under specific conditions. DP MP Max Hahn asked if this system was also authorised in Luxembourg and how the government wants to deal with these technological developments.

„Als éischte Constructeur iwwerhaapt krut Mercedes rezent an Däitschland d’Erlaabnis säi System vum automatiséierte Fueren „Drive Pilot“ am Stroosseverkéier ënner ganz spezifesche Bedéngungen anzesetzen. Sou dierf deen Assistent am Stau op der Autobunn bis zu enger Vitesse vu 60 km/h komplett d’Kontroll iwwerhuelen, de Chauffeur dierf dann esouguer ganz legal den Handy benotzen.

An deem Kader wollt ech dem Här Minister fir Mobilitéit an ëffentlech Aarbechte folgend Froe stellen:

  • Ass den Här Minister au courant vun dëser Decisioun vun eisen däitschen Noperen?
  • Wäert den Asaz vum „Drive Pilot“ och zu Lëtzebuerg erlaabt sinn? Wa jo, wat wieren d’Bedéngungen? Wann net, wat wieren d’Grënn dofir?
  • Wéi preparéiert Lëtzebuerg sech dorop, dass an Zukunft ëmmer méi esou Systemer op de Marché kommen? Ass virgesinn de legale Kader unzepassen, fir d’Benotze vun dëse Systemer zu Lëtzebuerg ze erméiglechen?

Answer

Den honorabelen Deputéierte Max Hahn stellt sech Froen iwwert de System Drive Pilot vu Mercedes-Benz, deen d’autonoomt Fuere vu Gefierer op der ëffentlecher Strooss ënner gewëssen Oplagen erméiglecht.

An dësem Zesummenhang erlaben ech mir fir op meng Äntwert op d’parlamentaresch Fro n°5403 vum 17. Dezember 2021 vum honorabelen Deputéierte Marc Goergen iwwert d’autonoomt Fueren ze verweisen.

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
