Response to European Partnership for Safe and Automated Road Transport

26 Aug 2019

Lille Metropole, the fourth largest metropolitan authority in France, representing about 1.2 million inhabitants looks forward for the European Partnership for safe and automated road transport. We want to highlight Lille’s citizens’ views on the matter (collected through a local debate on the 12th April) as well as questions raised by local public administrators. From the technical point of view of Lille Metropole administrators, the main concern is the coexistence between automated shuttles (automated shuttles are the only automated vehicles for public transportation purposes foreseen in the near future) and other users of public spaces. Research must be done to know whether local authorities and urban planners like Lille Metropole shall create specific lanes/spaces for automated vehicles on public spaces or invite and encourage industries to better adapt their products to urban environments where different users and usages are multiplying. Although citizens are quite optimistic regarding the arrival of driverless mobility (60% of Lille’s participants are looking ahead for it), they express concerns and raised questions that need to be answered by public authorities and companies through research. Here are some of the main issues expressed by participants: • Safety: Safety concerns are related to coexistence of regular cars and vehicles with automated ones and well as related to cybersecurity and protection of personal data. What will companies and public authorities do with the personal data of the users? 70% of the participants thinks individual citizens should have control over selling their personal data or forbidding their exploitation. • Inclusive mobility: Participants insisted on the importance to ensure that automated mobility will not be at the benefit of the wealthiest and do not raise the overall cost of mobility for lambda citizens. The question of cost was strongly raised by participants as a warning: this new technology must be accessible for everyone not to create further social devise based on accessibility. However, these concerns are ranked as less important than environmental and safety issues. • Social acceptance: participants expressed their readiness to test driverless vehicles under strict conditions (extensive research and experimentations, guarantees on the governance model, etc.) • MAAS: Will the deployment of driverless mobility follow the path of an “individual” scenario with people possessing their own driverless vehicle or a collective/shared paradigm? The citizens’ preferred scenarios are collective and/or shared deployment (69% of the participants in Lille).
