The aim was to think about how the emergence of driverless transport could affect our lives, and to work together on some likely or desirable scenarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n The development of driverless vehicles is now well underway and different manufacturers and regions around the world have begun experimenting with prototypes (1). Nonetheless,\u00a0many citizens find this new technology unfathomable<\/strong>\u00a0and say that they would not feel safe in a driverless car (2).<\/p>\n In France, the\u00a0government<\/strong>\u00a0has made driverless vehicles one of the\u00a0priorities <\/strong>of its\u00a0industrial recovery<\/strong>\u00a0(3). Its strategy aims at better shared<\/strong>, more<\/strong>\u00a0connected<\/strong>\u00a0mobility\u00a0throughout the country. However, for this ambition to be widely endorsed, the real needs of future users must be taken into account<\/strong>. Getting citizens to accept this new technology is also a major challenge: are citizens ready to switch from a collective, trust-based system to another, yet to be invented, based on artificial intelligence? And\u00a0what about\u00a0the citizens\u2019 own autonomy?<\/p>\n In an attempt to answer these questions, Missions Publiques<\/a>\u00a0and its partners ran a series of citizens’ dialogues<\/strong>, day-long events split into \u00a0six sessions and including discussions with elected officials and stakeholders<\/strong>. The participants gradually got to grips with the complexity and vast array of issues at stake with driverless vehicles. This kind of process gives citizens a chance to contribute to the development of public and private strategies, with a real sense of inclusion.<\/p>\n Around fifty questions were asked on several major themes: the\u00a0benefits<\/strong>\u00a0expected in our lives, the\u00a0mobility of people with disabilities<\/strong>, the fear<\/strong>\u00a0of potential\u00a0job losses<\/strong>, and third party use of\u00a0personal data<\/strong>. Participants were able to engage easily in a dialogue, with no fear of being judged \u2013 either by family or friends, or by the experts, who were not invited to take part in these debates.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1584743892979{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb el_class=\u00a0\u00bbcontainer vls_mauto specialcontainer\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_inner el_class=\u00a0\u00bbvls_quote vls_quote_blue2″ width=\u00a0\u00bb7\/12″ css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1582125682730{background-color: #e0deda !important;}\u00a0\u00bb] The process was designed by an international team led by Missions Publiques and its partner,\u00a0the Consortium for Science,<\/a>\u00a0Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University, with input from international experts in the fields of society and technology, such as Lee Rainie, Director of\u00a0PEW Research<\/a>, <\/u>Laura Brimont from the IDDRI<\/a>, the team from Cerema<\/a> (Sylvain Belloche and C\u00e9cile Cl\u00e9ment), and David Sittenfeld, director of the\u00a0Boston Museum of Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n The initial results of these citizens’ dialogues were presented last June at the Movin’On summit in partnership with the city of Montreal, Arizona State University, Keolis, and the Institut du Nouveau Monde<\/em> , then at the European ITS (Intelligent Transport System) congress in partnership with Keolis, the city of Aachen, ERTICO, and Austriatech, and finally at the SUMP 2019 (sixth European Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans) meetings in Gr\u00f6ningen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=\u00a0\u00bbcustom\u00a0\u00bb align=\u00a0\u00bbalign_left\u00a0\u00bb el_width=\u00a0\u00bb30″ accent_color=\u00a0\u00bb#828282″ css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1584744003449{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_wp_text el_class=\u00a0\u00bbblog_smalltext\u00a0\u00bb]Sources (in French):<\/strong> [vc_row el_class=\u00a0\u00bbcontainer vls_mauto specialcontainer\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1584741997703{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=\u00a0\u00bbvls_projets_single_texte vls_black2″]From June 6\u20131,\u00a02019, Missions Publiques and its partners brought together…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\u00ab\u00a0During the day, we crafted our ideal scenario.
