RSSThe French coastal town of La Rochelle will host a series of events related to 7758 CityMobil2 and road vehicle automation during next CityMobil events programme between 30 and 31 March 2015.

La Rochelle is the site of one of the main CityMobil2 demonstrations of automated road passenger transport systems, which operates from December 2014 to March 2015. Events attendees will have the opportunity to travel in the automated vehicles, provided by CityMobil 2's partner 7759 Robosoft, which will be circulation along the roads of the French coastal town.

The workshop will be supported by the VRA project and organised in conjunction with the next meeting of the EU-US-JPN tri-lateral automation Working Group meeting.

CityMobil2 is studying the future of various cyber-mobility alternatives in Europe up to the year 2050. The study will research whether the public will accept the move from car ownership to the extended use of shared fleets of driverless vehicles, as well as the economic impact that it would potentially trigger. The resulting background and an online survey carried out among registered attendees will be the basis for the discussions during the workshop.
