<strong>Christophe Sapet a annoncé lors du dévoilement du premier robo-taxi sur le marché, AUTONOM CAB, que NAVYA a conclu des partenariats avec RAC WA et Keolis concernant le déploiement de plusieurs AUTONOM CABS sur routes ouvertes dans les centres-villes. RAC WA qui teste depuis Août 2016 deux AUTONOM SHUTTLES à Perth, a officiellement annoncé le  30 novembre 2017 qu'ils allaient également tester des AUTONOM CABS à partir d'avril 2018 dans la ville de Perth, en Australie. </strong>

&nbsp;

<b>DES AUTONOM CABS  SERONT DÉPLOYÉS A PARTIR D'AVRIL 2018 A PERTH</b>

<strong>RAC WA</strong>, en partenariat avec le <strong>Gouvernement de l'Australie de l'Est(WA)</strong> et <strong>NAVYA</strong>, testera les premiers robot-taxis du marché,  les <strong>AUTONOM CABS</strong> . La circulation commencera à partir d<strong>'avril 2018</strong> à Perth, la capitale de l'Etat.

"<em>Cet essai représentera une avancée significative dans la technologie déjà révolutionnaire avec deux "RAC Intellibuses", ce qui permettra aux Australiens d'être parmi les premiers au monde à bénéficier de la toute dernière technologie en matière de véhicules automatisés.</em>" <strong>Terry Agnew</strong>, PDG du groupe RAC WA.

"<em>L'Australie est un lieu stratégique pour tester, mettre en valeur et déployer de nouvelles technologies dans la région. L'enthousiasme des gouvernements et de RAC WA pour la nouvelle technologie automobile, l'innovation ainsi que notre besoin de solutions de mobilité intelligentes facilement accessibles à la communauté dans cette partie du monde nous a conduit à confirmer l'un de nos essais ici en dans l'Australie de l'Est.</em> "<strong>Christophe Sapet</strong>, PDG de NAVYA.

In 2016, after being one of the first in the world to trial an autonomous shuttle in real conditions with <strong>AUTONOM SHUTTLE</strong>, RAC WA will once again be <strong>one of the first to trial the robo-taxis</strong>. As well as the trial of the AUTONOM SHUTTLE, this experimentation will involve a number of stages commencing with testing at an off-road site with the final stage being a trial on public roads in Perth.

<strong>PERTH PARMIS LES PREMIÈRES VILLES DU MONDE À ESSAYER LE PREMIER ROBO-TAXI SUR LE MARCHÉ</strong>

En 2016, après avoir été l'un des premiers au monde à tester une navette autonome en conditions réelles avec AUTONOM SHUTTLE, le RAC WA sera à nouveau<strong> l'un des premiers à tester les robot-taxis</strong>. En plus de l'essai de l'AUTONOM SHUTTLE,  l'expérimentation du robot-taxi impliquera un certain nombre d'étapes commençant par des essais sur un site hors route, la dernière étape étant un essai sur les routes publiques à Perth.

<strong>AUTONOM CAB: ONE OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED DRIVERLESS VEHICLE</strong>

The vehicles can carry up to <strong>six passengers</strong> each, and have a maximum operating speed of <strong>90km/hr</strong> with a likely recommended operating <strong>speed of 20 to 50km/hr during the trial</strong>.

The vehicles are fitted with the <strong>latest state-of-the-art multi-sensor technology</strong>, including <strong>10 LIDARS,</strong> <strong>four radars</strong>, <strong>six cameras</strong> and <strong>odometry</strong>, providing the vehicles with 3D perception that allows them to map the environment, detect obstacles and make decisions which allow them to operate autonomously. The cars also feature two <strong>Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennae</strong> to determine the precise position of the vehicle at any given time, and are linked to a remote supervision service.

<strong>AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWING THE AWARD FOR THE INTELLIBUS TRIAL</strong>

Since August 2016, RAC WA has been trialling AUTONOM SHUTTLE, called RAC Intellibus in South Perth, Western Australia.

On November 23rd, RAC WA and NAVYA were thrilled to receive the Automated Vehicle Award from <a href="https://www.its-australia.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ITS Australia</a>, sponsored by the <a href="http://advi.org.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australian and New Zealand Driverless Vehicle Initiative</a> (ADVI), for learnings from the Trial. RAC WA’s purposeful AV Trial is the <strong>longest running trial of a self-driving vehicle</strong> in the Australasian region. Having travelled more than <strong>7,000kms in autonomous mode</strong>, learnings are being documented and shared with industry and government. <strong>More than 10,500 people registered to take part</strong>. The trial allows the industry practitioners and the community to use and experience a driverless vehicle in a complex traffic environment. The response to the Trial has been extremely positive with 98 per cent of participants saying they believe a vehicle like the Intellibus could be used in the future as a viable service.
