For many years, people have dreamed of an autonomous car. Today there is a dream reality. In effect, several companies working on development these autonomous vehicles.
development which advances to such an extent that tests are made all over France, especially near Paris or in the Drôme. Goal soon to launch autonomous shuttles to enrich supply of public transport.
Experiments in place
In March 2021 experiment took place near Vincennes Forest. Normally, the automatic shuttle was integrated directly into the traffic on Avenue de Paris very frequented.
Note that those famous boats standalone can now accommodate until ten passengers and drive at maximum speed 20 km/h
In general, it is more than 15,000 km which have been passed since the start of the experiment in 2017.
On behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités and RATP, we are delighted turn of these experiments, finding that it enters good sense.

Convinced population
Recently, another experiment was also conducted in Droma and Andra. After these tests, the Autonomous Car Community of Interest came to some conclusions.
In general, 74% people interviewed at the end these experiments they said they were ready to change the way they travel during the year.
AND 41% some of them even want to adopt way greener transport in the future very closefor travel between one and 5 kilometers.
Two important factors
This can be explained by two factors enthusiasm population vs this new mobility urban and clean for environment.
On the one hand, there is that these tests convinced the population on the side profitably autonomous shuttles on our society.
According to respondentsthere is a reassuring side, especially around the question of service security and the effect of the shuttle on local employment.
The second factor is on the level importance of pedagogy at changes and the benefits that can be brought this new mobility.
