<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The French Government has presented its action plan for the development of autonomous vehicles in order to accelerate their deployment next year in France.</strong></span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Government has pointed out three major axes for the development of autonomous vehicles: multiply experimentations, support Research &amp; Development, handle the societal and ethical issues related to this innovation. </span>

Led by <a href="https://twitter.com/annemarieidrac?lang=fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anne-Marie Idrac</a>, former Minister and High Representative for the strategy of autonomous vehicle development, her report develops the main strategic directions for public action regarding the autonomous vehicles.

This action plan aims to <strong>"setting France in pole position of experimentation and industrialization of autonomous vehicles"</strong>, as <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron?lang=fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emmanuel Macron</a> notified last March. At Fall 2017 during the National Council of Industry, Prime Minister <a href="https://twitter.com/EPhilippePM?lang=fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edouard Philippe</a>, had integrated autonomous vehicles within <a href="http://navya.tech/en/french-government-places-autonomous-vehicle-at-the-heart-of-its-industrial-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 4 major industrial projects</a> to revive the French industry.

This report determines the timetable of the deployment of autonomous vehicles on French roads by supporting experiments , reflection and definition of a legal framework, R &amp; D and marketing. A series of measures, which will begin in 2019 by authorizing the experimentation of autonomous vehicle everywhere in France, on an open road, in order to support the French automobile ecosystem.
