<h3>The experiments carried out by Bertolami fall within the scope of the PACTE law</h3>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The French government has the ambition to make France <strong>a leader in the field of autonomous vehicles</strong>. It is in this sense that the PACTE law (Action Plan for the Growth and Transformation of Enterprises) was passed on 9 October 2018, aimed at <strong>broadening and making more flexible the experiments related to autonomous vehicles.</strong></span>
