The participants are working on projects such as ZenCab, which will allow the autonomous taxi to recognise user profiles and customise the sound and lighting inside. Meanwhile, the Fill It solution analyses the space inside the cabin to help manage user comfort. In addition, the Exedra innovation is intended to transform the cab into a mobile meeting room.
Olivier Crouzet, head of pedagogy at 42, says: “Taking part in this project is not only a bonus for the students of 42 in terms of their training, but it is also an amazing career opportunity for them.”
These students are currently divided into three teams and will work over the summer. They will also be able to visit the Navya production plant in Vénissieux, near Lyon, and exchange ideas with company employees.
The prize will be awarded by the president of 42 and founder of French operator Free Xavier Niel and Navya CEO Christophe Sapet at the Paris Motor Show, which takes place from 4-14 October.
