Three out of four French people are in favor of the autonomous vehicle, which could play a decisive role in rural areas. The second edition of the VEDECOM & MACIF barometer on the acceptability of the autonomous vehicle by the French reveals that 73% of them have a positive attitude towards this means of transportation: an increase of 3 percentage points compared to 2020 (equivalent to about 2 million of the French population). In 2020, the French had a positive perception of the automated vehicle, given that it’s introduced in a context of environmental preservation and improvement of inclusive mobility. With the growth of autonomous mobility experiments on the French territory, has the perception of the French changed in 2021? Do they see themselves using it regularly, everywhere and for everyone? What do they expect from it?

An R&D institute and partnership foundation, VEDECOM manages public-private partnership research projects in the field of sustainable mobility, supporting French industrial sectors. To overcome the health and economic crisis, VEDECOM has decided to go back to its core activity in 2021. This action has led to the reintegration of VEDECOM Tech subsidiary.

The Mobena project was launched in September 2021 for two years. It brings together players from all the electric mobility value chain in France. Its aims to support the e-mobility companies in ensuring a successful deployment of the new generation of electric vehicle charging solutions. These solutions will simplify the user experience and improve the quality of service.

In these times of lockdown, VEDECOM’s launch of its new Mobility Camp site is well timed, as it offers information about the best teaching resources for new mobility methods. The goal: to imagine a post-coronavirus world which places a strong emphasis on innovative, sustainable mobility methods. And the icing on the cake: if you’re a player in this field, you can contribute your own content to it!
