WHY AUTONOMY?

The creation of Autonomy is based on a simple observation: urban mobility is experiencing a significant shift. This phenomenon can be summarized by 5 verticals grouped under the ADESA acronym.

Active Mobility Cycling, walking, skating, roller-blading, kick-scooting etc. are still the most efficient and healthiest ways to move in cities. Some of the largest cities work towards infrastructures dedicated to pedestrians and riders, while reducing the space available for motor vehicles.

Data Analytics The rise of the Internet of Things makes it easy to capture data and optimize systems. Connected vehicles will generate the necessary data to enable autonomous driving. Smart Cities are already leveraging data to help us get around.

Electric Solutions The future of mobility is electric: buses, cars, 3-wheelers, scooters, segways and solo-wheels are benefitting from improved battery technology. Reduced maintenance and running costs make EVs more appealing for urbanites. We now need to provide clean energy to meet this growing demand.

Shared Mobility Shared mobility is well established in most major European cities. A second generation of free-floating ‘dockless’ vehicles, booked and paid for via smartphone, will soon enter our cities.

Autonomous Vehicles – Véhicule Autonome The race is on between two competing AV solutions: OEMs building cars that can switch to autopilot on request, and tech companies building robot-taxis that cannot be driven. There is no doubt that urbanites will start using AVs regularly in major cities by 2025.
