Autonomous vehicles are held to be the next shift in the automotive and mobility fields. By affecting the way we approach mobility, these vehicles are likely to have a broad spectrum of impacts on our society. For example, they are likely to reduce pollution and accidents on road and to redesign our urban landscapes by introducing new urban practices.
Still, many questions and hurdles paves the way to autonomous driving. They are technological challenges, but also regulatory, ethical, socio-economic and societal questions in the short and long terms, which need to be addressed in order to have a better understanding of that rising and global thematic.
The purpose of this seminar, held in the context of the European project H2020 CREATE, is to gather experts from different fields approaching these questions and challenges from different angles to fuel the debate.

Audience:
• Experts, technicians and researchers
• Transport authorities and transport companies
• Students

Objectives:
Through different presentations and a debate, this seminar’s objectives are to:
Have a better understanding of the different impacts autonomous vehicles might have on mobility, and, on a larger scale, on our society.
Apprehend and discuss the questions of acceptability and ethic existing around that new technology, and representing a serious hurdle on the path of autonomous driving.
